A spokesman of former Governor Chimaroke
Nnamani has denied speculations that he had
died.
Over the last twenty-four hours,
SaharaReporters had been inundated with
inquiries by readers who said they had heard
that Mr. Nnamani, a medical doctor, had died.
But when SaharaReporters contacted
Igbonekwu Ogazimorah, a Commissioner for
Information under the Nnamani
administration, the former governor’s aide
issued a statement denying the rumors.
The text of Mr. Ogazimorah’s statement is
below:
Here is stating that there is no truth
whatsoever in the claim by some people
that former governor of Enugu State,
Chimaroke Nnamani, is dead or gripped
with any terminal illness. Yes, Nnamani
undertook a successful open heart
surgery two months ago and has been
recuperating. He personally spoke to me
twice yesterday and over seven times
today, Friday, August 17. In high spirits,
Chimaroke Nnamani requested me to tell
his followers that he considers it a
privilege to be among the very few who
had the opportunity of reading their
obituaries while alive. Friends and well
wishers are advised to ignore the rumor
as Nnamani is alive and well, though
currently staying out of Nigeria because
of the surgery.
Signed: Mr. Igbonekwu Ogazimorah,
former Commissioner for Information
