2023: Obiano’s Wife Joins Senatorial Race After Slap Saga
The wife of the ex-governor of Anambra State, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, has declared her bid to join the Senatorial race after the highly famed slap saga.
Ahead of the already exhilarating 2023 elections, the former first lady has picked the nomination form for the Senate under the All Progressives Grand Alliance Party, APGA, the platform that housed her husband’s two-term reign.
The Anambra lead lady became a pubic rave last month after she received a ”farewell slap” in a brawl with Bianca Ojukwu, widow of the late Biafra warlord on her husband’s last day in office.
Accompanied by party members, stakeholders, transition committee chairmen and numerous supporters, Ebelechukwu purchased the nomination form for the Anambra North District Senatorial seat.
The Onitsha-born who is the owner and founder of Caring Family Enhancement Initiative insisted her interest is borne out of service to God and mankind while reacting to questions at the APGA National Secretariat.
“I have used my position as a first lady to give hope to the hopeless in the society, cared for children with deformity and disability, built houses for homeless widows, rehabilitated and reunited mentally challenged people with their families, amongst many others. I will continue my divine call to be a blessing to humanity.
Meanwhile,Ebelechukwu’s declaration comes hours after the Chief of Staff to the former governor, Mr Primus Odili, declared interest to run for the same seat.
