Former governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, reportedly dies

Former Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, has reportedly passed away in London after suffering from severe heart failure and complications associated with urinary cancer.

Obiano, who served two terms before handing over to Governor Charles Soludo, had been bedridden for an extended period and was notably absent during the run-up to last Saturday’s Anambra governorship election—won by his chosen successor, Prof. Charles Soludo.

At the time of filing the report, details surrounding his death remain sketchy; further updates are expected. Source: VSK
