Former Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano is alive and kicking, says his former Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, C. Don Adinuba.
Adinuba said contrary to media report.
He noted that the former governor who just turned 70 years old is doing well in the United States where he is currently.
The former commissioner also commended those who have showing concern.
He stressed that there was no basis for the rumour.
According to Adinuba: “The Nigerian media have been abuzz in the last couple of hours over a rumour that the immediate Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has passed on in London.
“ This rumour has no basis. Chief Obiano lives in the Texas, United Staes, and not London.
“ He is not just alive, but healthy, strong and too agile for someone who has just turned 70 years.
“ We thank people from different walks of life across the globe, including leading international media like the BBC, for their acute interest in the former governor whose large heartedness and record of service delivery remain solid years by any standard.
“The outpouring of love across the globe following the rumour shows how much Chief Obiano matters to many, almost four years after leaving public office and choosing a quite private life abroad.
“ At only 70 years, Chief Obiano has joined the pantheon of men like The Great Zik of Africa whose rumoured death turned out to be utterly false and without any foundation.
