There is growing anxiety over the health of former Anambra state Governor Chief Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano as there are two conflicting reports , one claiming that he is dead while the other said that he is hale and hearty.
Reports flooded the internet Friday afternoon that Obiano died in the United Kingdom after health challenges a development that is currently unsettling the landscape of Anambra state.
But according to the former Commissioner for Information Chief C Don Adinuba who worked under him and called him on phone,
“His Excellency Chief Willie Obiano is hale and hearty and those spreading rumors about his death would face the consequences of misinformation”
Adinuba further contended that he called Obiano on phone who spoke with him and told him that he is alive.
“I spoke with His Excellency Chief Willie Obiano and he is not in the United Kingdom but based in America and we spoke for long to confirm that he is hale and hearty ”
“The public should discountenance those rumors about his death because he is alive ” he said.
Also speaking a member of Obiano Diaspora Club told this reporter that the former Chief Of Staff to Obiano Prof Jeo Asike while he was in office placed a call to Obiano and he spoke to members of the Forum who wished him well and thanked God that the report of his death is not true.
“It has been confirmed by the Former Chief of Staff. Prof. Joe Asike that the rumour of Gov. Willie Obiano’s death is a pack of lies from unknown mischief makers who will have to face the consequences of this rumour of wishing a young man death before his time. Prof. Joe Asike spoke directly with Gov. Obiano in a 30 minutes long conversation a short while ago” the member said .
