Former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano
Immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, is alive and in good health, a former state Commissioner for Information, Dr. Paul Nwosu, has confirmed.
Nwosu issued a statement on Friday in Awka, responding to circulating rumors that Obiano had died in a London hospital.
He emphasized that the reports were completely false.
“Former Governor Obiano personally spoke to me and assured me that he is hale and hearty,” Nwosu said.
He added that Obiano has reassured his family, friends, well-wishers, political associates, and supporters both at home and abroad that his health is excellent. “He affirmed that, by the special grace of God, his health remains in excellent condition,” Nwosu stated.
The former commissioner blamed the spread of the false information on social media users seeking attention and traffic online.
“In a desperate attempt to generate social-media content, some individuals resorted to spreading falsehoods and engaging in the unthinkable. Such acts of mischief are unacceptable and will not go unpunished,” Nwosu warned.
He urged the public to disregard the rumors and rely on verified information regarding the former governor’s well-being.
