Ohanaeze President-General, George Obiozor Is Not Dead – Group’s Spokesman Declares

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has come out to clarify the rumoured death of its President-General, Prof George Obiozor.

Naija News reports that speculations of his death have been making the round since Boxing day when it was rumoured that the Obiozor, an octogenarian had reportedly died from a heart-related illness.

However in a brief clarification to deny the rumours and reports of his death, the spokesman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Alex Ogbonnia told The Nation that Obiozor is not dead.

Naija News learnt that different speculations have continued to trail the purported death of the Obiozor.

It was gathered that a chieftain of Ohanaeze who spoke to DAILY POST on Wednesday claimed Obiozor died on Monday, December 26, 2022, but his death is yet to be made public.

The source said: “The man is dead but it’s not in our tradition to announce such death even when we have such information, we allow the family members to make such an announcement.

“He died on Monday of heart-related disease. I’m not specific about where he died but he travelled abroad and returned to Lagos.

“I was called in the early hours of December 26th that he died in the early hours.”

However in what seems to be contrary to this, the group’s spokesman, Ogbonnia told The Nations that “Whatever I tell you is the truth and official. The man is alive. He is not dead.”

It was also gathered that one of his aides simply responded to the speculations saying “I do not know anything.”
