His Imperial Majesty, the Eze Uzu III of Awka, Obi Austin Ndigwe, the Obi of Awka Ancient Kingdom, has declared that fighting the widow of the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, wife of the former governor of Anambra State, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, has desecrated Awka territory.
Mrs Obiano has been given seven days to publicly apologize to the entire Igbo people or face dire repercussions, according to a press release signed by the monarch and sent to journalists in Awka.
He said that the prior governor's wife's activities were sacrilegious, and that as the ruler of the town, he must appease the gods of Awka country to avoid tragedies.
The monarch also said: “She should also tender an unreserved apology to the new Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo for her disgraceful conduct during his inauguration. The same should go for the chief judge of the state who was conducting the swearing-in when she descended.
“This grave sin was committed in the land of Awka which is known for peace and unity. Therefore, as the traditional ruler of the people and chief custodian of our culture, I am under obligation to perform some sacrifices to cleanse our land of this filth and pollution and to appease the gods.”

The same should be said for the state's chief judge, who was performing the swearing-in when she arrived.
"This heinous crime was done in the peaceful and united land of Awka.
As the people's traditional ruler and principal custodian of our culture, I am obligated to undertake some sacrifices in order to cleanse our country of filth and pollution and placate the gods."
The Obi of Awka stated that he has spoken with Bianca Ojukwu for a long time, and she told him that what enraged her was when Mrs Obiano stepped up to him.

Mrs Obiano rushed up to Bianca Ojukwu and called her unprintable names, including questioning her participation at the swearing-in event, according to the Obi of Awka, who has known her for a long time.
He went on to say that a review of the situation revealed that Mrs Obiano's behaviour was premeditated, as she arrived prepared to disrupt the swearing-in event.
Mrs Obiano's action, according to Ndigwe, was directed not just at Mrs Ojukwu, but also at the late Ojukwu, the founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, which his widow now represents.
“It must be pointed out that Bianca was not at that ceremony as Bianca, but as a direct representative of our late father and leader, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, her late husband who pioneered APGA.
“Therefore, Ebele’s action of casting aspersion on her is an affront on the entire Igbo people. It was indeed on Odumegwu Ojukwu and not on Bianca as a person. This is an insult to Igbo and it must not go unpunished.
“It is on record that I took Obiano and this his wife, Ebere to Bianca Ojukwu where they knelt down while seeking the party’s governorship ticket. Bianca endorsed Obiano and called on all APGA members including then Governor Peter Obi to support him.
“Mrs Ebele Obiano has only 7 days to apologise as demanded and directed or face serious consequences.”
