Obiano now has the opportunity just like Nnamdi Azikiwe, to read all the negative and positive comments that came from the fake news of his Death – Shehu Sani

After news broke on social media on Friday, November 14, 2025, that Willie Obiano, the former governor of Anambra State, was still alive—in contrast to earlier reports that said he had died—there was a lot of chatter.

The dramatic turn of events sparked a heated online debate, with former Kaduna legislator and APC leader Senator Shehu Sani weighing in with a noteworthy remark.

Two days ago, many online outlets had spread rumors that Obiano had died, sparking a heated debate on social media. Nevertheless, when it became evident that the report was untrue, Nigerians took to their pages to express a variety of opinions on the rumor and the public’s prompt response to it.

On his official X page, Senator Shehu Sani contributed a thoughtful remark to the debate. Although mistakenly reported as dead, Obiano now has the unique opportunity to observe the genuine and unfiltered comments that people make about him, whether they are positive or negative, he observed.

In his words: “Not everyone in life will have this privilege of knowing what would be said about him when he or she departs. Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe, in the early 1990s, was frequently a victim of this sort of news. ”

Nigerians responded to his remarks with even more comments about fake death news and the ease with which false information spreads online.

Obiano’s survival brought relief to many users, but others slammed the media outlets that published unsubstantiated facts. Online screenshots of these reactions show a variety of viewpoints, ranging from amusement to annoyance.
