Bianca’s siblings attack Ojukwu’s sons over senatorial ambition
Siblings of Dame Bianca Ojukwu , widow of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu – Ojukwu , have berated some of the children of the former Biafran leader for opposing her ( Bianca ’ s ) senatorial ambition .
Bianca Ojukwu is currently seeking the ticket of the All Progressives Grand Alliance to represent Enugu South Senatorial District in the Senate .
But some of her late husband ’ s older children have vowed to oppose her candidacy , should she emerge as APGA’ s standard bearer for the election .
Some members of the Ojukwu family , including Dr. Ike Ojukwu , Emeka Odumegwu – Ojukwu Jnr . , and Chief Debe Odumegwu – Ojukwu , reportedly noted that it would not be proper to allow a woman from Ngwo , in Enugu State , to represent Anambra South Senatorial District .
Bianca Ojukwu hails from Ngwo town , in Enugu State, but was married in Nnewi , Anambra State.
Among other reasons they advanced for opposing her senatorial ambition , the late Biafran warlord ’ s children argued that Bianca could , in the future , marry a man from another state .
They also cast doubts on her marriage to the late Ikemba , noting that she was not one of their own .
However , Bianca ’ s siblings have responded to the attack on their sister .
Speaking on behalf of the family of the late C . C . Onoh , ( Bianca ’ s father ) , Bianca ’ s brother , Dr Josef Umunnakwe Onoh , said Ojukwu ’ s children were ignorant of the Nigerian laws .
Onoh also dismissed the Ojukwu children ’ s claims that the marriage between their father and Bianca was not contracted in the proper procedure.
Bianca ’ s brother insisted that the opposition from Ojukwu’ s children would not stop Bianca from winning the election .
