UPDATED: I spoke with Obiano, He is alive and healthy – Ex-Commissioner

Former Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, is alive and in good health, despite widespread rumours on social media claiming he had passed away.

His former Commissioner for Information, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, dismissed the reports on Friday, describing them as false and mischievous.

Adinuba said he personally spoke with Obiano and confirmed that the former governor is not only alive but “hale and hearty” and residing in the United States, not the United Kingdom as claimed by an online report.

“Obiano has never lived in the United Kingdom. He lives in the United States of America. I just spoke with him now,” Adinuba said.

He urged the public to disregard the rumour, warning that such unfounded claims can cause unnecessary distress to Obiano’s family, associates, and the people of Anambra State.
