Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has confirmed that His Excellency, Chief Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano (Akpokuodike), former Governor of Anambra State (2014–2022), is alive and well.
This is contrary to the malicious rumours and utterly false reports circulating on social media and certain online platforms claiming that Chief Willie Obiano has passed away in a London hospital earlier today.
In a statement signed by Christian Aburime, the Press Secretary, Governor Soludo categorically confirmed that he has spoken to Chief Willie Obiano and he is alive and well.
“The Governor views with grave concern the reckless dissemination of such malicious rumours as wicked and irresponsible. He strongly enjoins all media practitioners, especially online publishers, to uphold the ethics of journalism by verifying information through official channels before publication.”
“The spread of unverified death rumour is not only wicked and irresponsible but also erodes public trust.”
“Therefore, the Government urges the general public to disregard the trending rumours, rest assured that the former governor is alive, hale and hearty.”
“Governor Soludo wishes Chief Willie Obiano (Akpokuodike) continued strength, peace, and a long, healthy life of fulfilment in his abode.”
