A fight over canned beer and food by some members of Uduaghan Ladies Vanguard almost ruined the birthday party of Delta State Commissioner for Energy Comrade Ovuzurie Macaulay Wednesday in Asaba, Delta State.
The ladies are members of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s ladies political organization. The governor nurtured it to assist in the actualization of his 2011 re-election. The birthday celebration of the Commissioner for Energy was abruptly stopped midway when the ladies started falling over one another in the struggle to grab plates of food and cans of beer served at the party. The meals which included roasted chicken and meat pie sprinkled stained some of the ladies’ clothes and the floor at the Squash Court venue, opposite the Government House in Asaba. The scenario almost resulted to a free-for-all fight, athough some of the ladies had already started hitting one another before friends and political associates of the commissioner intervened. When the dust settled, a fretful master of the ceremony asked the ladies to apologise to the celebrant and the women folk. The National President of the ladies group who is also a member of the State House of Assembly representing Warri South 1, Omawumi Udoh, knelt down before the celebrant to tender the apology on behalf of the ladies. She commended the celebrant for his understanding and fatherly roles since the inception of the organization and assured him of an unflinching supports for the governor to actualize his dreams in 2011. Comrade Macaulay who is one of the patrons of the ladies vanguard accepted the apology and thanked the women and those who assisted to stop the brawl. Macaulay who claimed to be an apostle of Governor Uduaghan, tasked members of the vanguard and those of Isoko Advancement-network (IAN) who were at the ceremony to be 100 percent supportive of the governor’s ambition, saying, “we will no longer continue to tolerate defection of any members”. |
