The mother of the Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, Mrs Christiana Obiano is dead.

She passed on at the age of 87.

A statement made available to our correspondent on Sunday in Awka by the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on media, Mr James Eze,said the governor’s mother died on “Friday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi after battling a protracted illness associated with old age”.

The statement read in part, “Born into the famous Azodo Manafa family of Eziagulu village in Aguleri, Mrs Christiana Obiano embraced Christianity at a very young age and grew up to become one of the major pillars in her local parish of the Catholic Church.

” Her rare beauty, striking personality and humane attitude to life soon attracted her to a dashing young man who was gradually building a career as a notable educationist at the time. That young man was Philip Onuorah Obiano who soon wedded her in the Catholic Church.

“The marriage is blessed with four children, namely Willie Maduaburochukwu, Cyril, Queen and Evaristus. Her beloved husband passed away in November 1978 at the age of 57…

“She assumed full control of the young family which she solidly supported with the proceeds from her business of selling fish at the Ose-Okwuodu Market in Onitsha. She was a smart business woman who understood the intricacies of selling the species of fish popularly known as Mangala in Igboland.

Mrs Obiano was famous for her generosity and accommodating disposition which earned her several nicknames including names like “Mother-of-the-Poor”

Burial arrangements will be announced in due course.
