Obiano, who broke his silence in a post on his Facebook page, assured the public that he was alive and in good health.
“My beloved Ndi Anambra, friends, and well-wishers, I woke to hear of a rumour making the rounds about my wellbeing,” he wrote.
“Let me assure you personally: I am alive, hale, hearty, and in excellent health. By the special grace of God, I am doing very well.”
He expressed concern over the increasing trend of individuals spreading unfounded stories, saying such actions were unnecessary and harmful.
“It is unfortunate that some individuals still find joy in spreading falsehood simply for reasons yet to be established. But we will continue to rise above such mischief,” the former governor added.
Obiano also thanked those who reached out to him following the fake report, noting that their calls, messages and prayers were deeply appreciated.
“Your love and goodwill mean more than words can express. Please disregard the rumour entirely. We remain focused, grateful, and guided by God’s grace,” he said.
The viral death rumour had triggered a flurry of reactions across social media platforms before the former governor issued his clarification.
