A lighthearted moment unfolded today in the Senate, as President Godswill Akpabio playfully cautioned Senator Osita Ngwu during a ministerial screening session. Ngwu (who represents Enugu West District) began his remarks by complimenting Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s beauty.
However, Akpabio humorously interrupted him, saying, “Stick to her resume—she didn’t include ‘beautiful’ on her CV.”
This exchange sparked laughter among the senators. Ngwu then proceeded to praise Bianca’s credentials and qualifications, stating that they were impressive.
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe of Abia South also expressed confidence in Bianca’s capabilities, commending President Bola Tinubu for nominating the “mother” of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), viewing it as a step towards national unity.
Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu (a seasoned diplomat and former ambassador to Spain and Ghana) has held various roles, including Nigeria’s permanent representative to the United Nations World Tourism Organization.
Widely recognized for her accomplishments in diplomacy, law and business—she also holds several international beauty pageant titles and is the widow of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, the Biafran warlord. After the screening, she was asked to take a bow, because her presence had certainly made an impact.
