Bianca Ojukwu is currently seeking to represent Enugu South Senatorial District in the Senate under the All Progressives Grand Alliance ticket.
But some of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu- Ojukwu,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.
Siblings of Dame Bianca Ojukwu, widow of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu- Ojukwu, have scolded some of the children of the former Biafran leader for opposing Bianca’s senatorial ambition.
Bianca Ojukwu hails from Ngwo town, in Enugu State, but was married in Nnewi, Anambra State.
They are opposing her on the grounds that they do not consider her as one of their own, casting doubts on her marraige to the late Ojukwu.
Another reason was they feared that Bianca, could in the future, marry a man from another state.
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.
