His former Commissioner for Information, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, came out late on Friday to debunk the now viral report circulated by some new outlets (not DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS).
He described the reports as false and mischievous.
Adinuba said he had personally spoken with Obiano and confirmed that the former governor is not only alive but “hale and hearty” and residing in the United States, not the United Kingdom as claimed by an online report.
“Obiano has never lived in the United Kingdom. He lives in the United States of America. I just spoke with him now,” Adinuba stated.
He urged the public to disregard the rumours, noting that such unfounded claims were capable of causing unnecessary distress to the former governor’s family, associates, and the people of Anambra State.
