Former Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has reportedly passed away in London, according to multiple emerging reports. Although official confirmation is still being awaited, the news has already stirred reactions across Nigeria, especially among residents of Anambra who closely followed his political career.

Obiano, who served as governor from 2014 to 2022, was a key figure in the state’s development and political landscape. His tenure was marked by major infrastructural projects, security reforms, and the promotion of investment opportunities. Many supporters remember him for stabilizing governance after the administration of Peter Obi.

The report of his death has raised discussions about his health, as he had maintained a low public profile since leaving office. His legal issues with the EFCC over alleged misappropriation of state funds had also kept him in the news, fueling further public interest in his whereabouts.

Nigerians now await an official statement from his family or the Anambra State Government for full details. If confirmed, Obiano’s passing would mark the end of an era for a man who played a significant role in shaping modern Anambra politics.
