In the video which has since gone viral, the Obiano’s family were spotted partying with some white people. While Obiano himself was doing the filming in the first part of the video, one of his daughters took over in the second part as the former governor battled to cut a giant chicken in their US home.

Nigerians have bitterly frowned at the video, alleging that Obiano looted the Anambra government’s purse before leaving for the US to party with his family.

In response, Obiano through his publicist, Mr Tony Nezianya said that the vacation trip was funded by his daughter after he underwent intensive treatment in the US.

Nezianya said: “Chief Obiano, his wife and son did travel on vacation after he received seven weeks of intensive medical treatment in the United States.

“The trip was paid for by his daughter, a medical consultant in the United States, who was overjoyed that her 67- year old father could undertake such heavy and exerting treatment without serious complications.”

Nezianya explained further that the second video seen online was recorded on July 4, 2022, on America’s Independence Anniversary.

He said: “Americans usually celebrate their Independence Day with rice and chicken, and Chief Obiano’s young son was seen in the video eating rice and chicken.”

According to him, Obiano’s home in Houston, Texas was acquired before he joined partisan politics and won the governorship race of Anambra State in 2013.

“He bought it after serving for 12 years as the Executive Director of one of Nigeria’s top five banks. All his assets in Nigeria and abroad were stated in his Assets Declaration Form provided by the ICPC,” Nezianya added.
