Ex-Anambra Governor Willie Obiano is alive, says aide

The immediate past governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano, has been declared alive, hale and hearty.

A former Anambra State Commissioner for Information, Dr Paul Nwosu, made this known in a statement issued on Friday, November 14, 2025.

Nwosu, who was reacting to rumour claiming Obiano died in a London hospital, said the information was not true.

He said Obiano spoke to him and assured him that he was hale and hearty.

The former commissioner stated: “The former governor has reassured members of his family at home and in the diaspora, as well as his numerous friends, well-wishers, political associates, and teeming supporters, that he is hale and hearty.

“He affirmed that, by the special grace of God, his health remains in excellent condition.”

Nwosu attributed the spread of the false information to the desperate bid of social media handlers to create content and generate traffic.

He urged the general public to disregard the misleading information post in circulation.

“Such acts of mischief are unacceptable and will not go unpunished,” he stated.
