It was a public disgrace in Ebonyi State where two Commissioners currently members of the State Executive Council were reported to have publicly fought each other in a public gathering.
The two top government appointees- Victor Chukwu, commissioner for Environment and Jude Okpor, the commissioner for information engaged in the fight at the defection ceremony of Chieftains of the PDP into the APC held at Ebiaji, Ezza North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
The two Commissioners who are said to be stakeholders in their various communities had a field day as they reportedly exchanged blows, not minding those that were watching them.
Speaking with newsmen, an eye witnessed said: “Nobody told me anything about it. I saw everything myself. I don’t know the cause of their fight but they fought and this is the 5th fight between them.
“As a leader of thought in my place, this is embarrassing to me, our people and the people of Ebonyi State. It happened during the defection of some people into APC at Ezza North. “It was a very big fight and it was not hidden.”
The state government is yet to issue a statement on the public show of shame.
