Senate President Godswill Akpabio has cautioned Senator Osita Ngwu for praising the beauty of Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu during a ministerial screening on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on Wednesday.
Bianca, like six other ministerial nominees screened by the Senate, read her credentials before the red chamber and was subsequently quizzed by the lawmakers. She was screened for the post of Minister of State Foreign Affairs.
When Akpabio opened the floor for questions, Ngwu, who currently serves as the Senator representing Enugu West District in the 10th National Assembly, started by applauding Bianca’s beauty to which he attracted a rebuke.
“Mr President, the beautiful nominee standing before us,” the lawmaker said.
The conversation between Ngwu and Akpabio caused a ripple of laughter among Senators. Ngwu thereafter proceeded to laud the profile and competence of the nominee.
On his part, Enyinnaya Abaribe, the Senator representing Abia South District, said Biance’s competence and ability to perform was not in doubt.
He also commended President Bola Tinubu for nominating the “mother” of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) as a minister. “By bringing an APGA person to be a minister has already started a unity government and national integration,” Abaribe said.
The nominee was subsequently asked to take a bow.
Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu is an accomplished diplomat, lawyer, businesswoman and beauty pageant titleholder.
In 2011, then President Goodluck Jonathan appointed Bianca as Senior Special Assistant on Diaspora Affairs. She later became Nigeria’s Ambassador to Ghana and later Ambassador to the Kingdom Of Spain. She is Nigeria’s permanent representative to the United Nations World Tourism Organization.
The widow of former Biafra warlord Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu is a multiple international pageant titleholder.

Former APC Chieftain, Moghalu, Joins LP, Strategizes Ahead By-Election for Late Senator Ubah’s Seat, Anambra 2025
Barely one month after dumping the All Progressive Congress (APC), the immediate-past Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Chief Dr. George Moghalu, has settled for the Labour Party (LP).
The ex-APC stalwart perfected the defection on Tuesday, October 2, when he was received into his new party at his ward, Uruagu Nnewi, in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, by the party executives.
It was gathered that Chief Moghalu, during the event, filled his membership form, and also got presented with LP membership card amidst solidarity.
According to a statement issued by Dr. Moghalu’s media team, GNM; while the leadership of LP in the area expressed optimism that Moghalu’s entrance into the party will boost LP’s chances of winning major elections going forward, especially with the forthcoming Anambra South Senatorial by-election to replace late Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah; Moghalu, on his own part, said LP was better suited to champion his ideal and principles, which was why he settled for it after thorough evaluation and careful of consultations.
The statement reads: “The immediate-past Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Chief Dr George N. Moghalu, has on Tuesday, in Uruagu-Nnewi, joined the Labour Party.
“Dr. Moghalu, a Chieftain of All Progressive Congress (APC) who had earlier resigned from the party some weeks ago, was received by the Ward Chairman, Executives and Local government Chairman of Labour Party Chapter in Uruagu Nnewi, where after filling the party form, was presented with Labour Party Membership card.
“Speaking at the event, the Ward Chairman described Dr. Moghalu as a patriotic technocrat, and a down to earth man; saying that he was excited to welcome him into the party as he had over the years shown himself to be a creative, prudent and resourceful administrator as his entrance will boost the party’s chances of winning major elections going forward especially with the incoming Anambra South Senatorial election which the party has to show capacity.
“Dr. George Moghalu who spoke at the event said: I have resolved to join the labour party (LP) after a thorough evaluation and careful consultation of the members of my family, community, supporters and other critical stakeholders of the state and I have come to the conclusion that the Labour Party is better suited to champion my ideals and principles as the party aligns with my core values and commitment as well as multifaceted perspective, with a profound dedication to the welfare of citizens.
“Dr. Moghalu pledged to work harmoniously with the leaders and chieftains of the party in forging a better political culture that unites, inspires, and serves the greater good.
“The event was witnessed by Uruagu Nnewi Ward 1 Chairman, Executives, Nnewi North Local Government party Chairman, 2023 Nnewi North Labour Party House of Assembly Candidate, some stakeholders of the party, friends and political associates, who were present to welcome Chief Dr. George Moghalu to Labour Party.”
It would be recalled that, upon his resignation from APC, speculations emerged of Chief Moghalu’s intention to replace and take over the vacant seat left by late Senator Ubah of Anambra South, who is also from Nnewi.
However, his media team, then outrightly debunked and dismissed the speculations and publications as fake and gossip from the gutters of crass journalism, emphasizing that he (Chief Moghalu) never, for one day, nursed feeling to contest for the position left by Senator Ubah, as his main focus and passion remain fixed on serving as a Governor.
