Bloodbath Averted In Anambra; Obiano’s Wife Escapes Unhurt

Bloodbath was averted at Atani, Ogbaru council area of Anambra state as the wife of the state Governor, Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano announced that the party has given the Speaker of the State House of Assembly Mrs. Chinwe Nwebili, its nod to contest for the House of Representatives election in 2015.

Daily Sun gathered that no sooner than the First Lady announced the automatic ticket for Mrs. Nwebili than supporters of the current representative of Ogbaru federal constituency, Afam Ogene clashed with supporters of the Speaker, resulting in a free for all fight before law enforcement agents battled to put the situation under control.

Mrs. Obiano made the declaration during her maiden visit to the area as part of her familiarization tour to the 21 local government areas of state, which threw the entire members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA into confusion with some aggrieved members and supporters of Afam Ogene and Chinwe Nwebili pointing at each other.

Speaker Nwaebili, who practically hijacked the event with her supporters, has been variously reported as eyeing the National Assembly seat currently occupied by Hon. Victor Afam Ogene, Deputy Chairman, Media and Public Affairs, in the House of Representatives.

The governor’s wife pronouncement at the event, which obviously embarrassed the party leaders at the event threw the crowd into a rowdy shouts of disapproval and protestation, which almost degenerated to a free – for – all between supporters of Hon. Ogene, who were also there to receive the first lady and those of Speaker Nwaebili.
