According to a senior family source, Obiano had been grappling with declining health over recent months, suffering from severe heart failure and complications associated with urinary cancer.
“His health had been declining in the past months,” the relative said, “but the final collapse came suddenly. We are devastated.”
Medical staff in London confirmed that the former governor was receiving intensive care before his condition took a turn for the worse. “He fought till the very last moment,” a hospital insider stated.
Obiano served as Governor of Anambra State from 17 March 2014 until 17 March 2022, representing the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
At this time, official confirmation from his family or the Anambra State Government is still pending.
Multiple reports note that the claim remains unverified by formal channels.
