The Anambra State Government has responded to rumours of the death of the state’s First Lady, Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano.
In a press statement delivered to this news site on Sunday, October 4, 2015 signed by Emeka Ozumba, Special
Assistant to Governor Willie Obiano, the government said the rumour was
being circulated on social media and was the work of an “immoral
opposition”.

However, a statement signed by Ozumba described the publication as the handiwork of enemies.
The statement said that the Governor’s
wife was currently on vacation in the United States of America and was
in good health. The government urged Nigerians to ignore the rumour as
Mrs. Obiano was in good health.
Read the full statement below:
Politicking with Death in Anambra State: The Height of Indecency
Our attention has been drawn to the
vicious rumour injected into the social media by an immoral opposition,
alleging that the amiable wife of the governor of Anambra State, Chief
Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano, Osodieme has passed on.
This poisonous lie is a new low in
opposition politics in Anambra State and one that must be condemned by
anyone who has the slightest respect for the right to life and the
dignity of the human person.
For the avoidance of doubt, Chief Mrs
Ebelechukwu Obiano is alive and in the best physical, psychological and
emotional condition possible. She has been observing her annual vacation
in the United States and has not had any reason to spend a night in the
hospital since she arrived the USA.
We urge the general public to disregard this immoral rumour as there is no semblance of truth to it.
The power of life and death resides with
the Almighty God and no matter what may be the cruel designs of man
against his kind, life only comes to an end when it pleases God.
Thank you
