Read Time:1 Minute, 24 Second
Agency report
The former Anambra State Commissioner for Information under Governor Willie Obiano, Mr. C-Don Adinuba, has dismissed rumors of the ex-governor’s death, affirming that Obiano is “hale and hearty” in Houston, United States, where he currently resides.
The rumors, which circulated on social media, falsely claimed that Obiano, who governed Anambra State from 2014 to 2022, had died in London.
Speaking in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Friday, Adinuba described the reports as “provocative” and “unfounded,” insisting that the former governor is alive and well with his family in the US.
He said, “I have been asked some probing questions by journalists and have heard a provocative rumor about the death of former Governor Willie Obiano. The rumor is not true. I just spoke with the former governor and members of his family a few minutes ago. He is hale and hearty in Houston, United States, where he resides.
“Contrary to the reports, Obiano is not in London and has not been hospitalized. He is strong, hale, and hearty, and bouncing in the US. Ignore the rumor—it is not from a credible source. Please, the report is fake; Obiano is still alive.”
Adinuba urged the public to disregard the claims, adding, “I can’t confirm this; I am not aware of such news.”
Obiano, who hails from Aguleri in Anambra East Local Government Area, served as governor from 2014 to 2022, succeeding Peter Obi and handing over to Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo in March 2022.
He was born on August 8, 1955, and is currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged N4 billion fraud.
