A former President of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Anambra State chapter, Chief Chris Elunmuno, has advised former governor Willie Obiano not to allow his wife venture into politics, if he wishes to avoid public misconduct capable of rubbishing his legacies.
Elunmuno gave the advice in an interview with a News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Correspondent, who sampled opinion of the residents on the outburst on Thursday in Awka during the inauguration of Anambra sixth governor, Prof Chukwuma Souldo.
“We saw the video clip all over the social media, it was a loss of dignity and this behaviour needs to be checked before she gets off hand outside Nigeria’s shores.”
He said the fight that erupted between Obiano’s wife Ebelechukwu, and the widow of Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, was a bad end to his eight years in office as governor of the State.
“Our out-gone governor’s wife lost her temper in the day of her glory and spoilt the mood of her husband and entire Anambra people by confronting a guest in a State event as huge as inauguration.
“How can she walk up to the wife of the supreme leader of the party that gave her lime light to fight his widow. It will be difficult to clean up the memory from the people’s mind, instead of celebrating her husband it is her fight that is the talk of the world,” he said.
He said since her temperament is too short, it is not wise to allow her go into politics to avoid further damage to the personality of Obiano, his family and entire Anambra State.
“She has shown interest to contest for a senatorial seat of Anambra North in next general election. We cannot afford to be disgraced in the red chambers of Abuja, please stop her thirst for the seat now for your good image,” he said.
