How Obiano’s wife spent N160 Million on Hospital Bills for Less Privileged

www.odogwublog.com reports that wife of Anambra State Governor, Chief Mrs. Ebele Obiano, has so far spent over N160 million on hospital bills and

assistance to the less privileged since her husband became the governor of Anambra State last year.

This Commissioner of Health, Dr. Joe Akabuike, disclosed this on Wednesday at the Women Development Centre, Awka, where Mrs. Obiano distributed 200 prosthetic limbs.

Akabuike said that helping people in need is a family tradition of the Obianos and he was not surprised that the governor's wife carried that tradition to Government House, Awka.

He said that last week alone, she offered to pay N10 million for the treatment of a boy who needed medical assistance.

Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Obiano preached wealth distribution, urging those who have, even though they may not be millionaires, to assist those who don't have or those who have less, adding that Anambra State is blessed with wealthy people but selfishness created a barrier for them to share their wealth.

She described the day as her best because it is a day she put smiles on the faces of people.

Mrs. Obiano said people should spread their wealth so that they would be remembered even after they had left the world, stressing that it is part of seeking heaven.

On her part, Mrs. Obiano said it is God's wish that she should spread her family wealth. According to her, her family has empowered people and she is happy for it.

She said that 200 lucky beneficiaries are benefiting in this second phase of empowered mobility aid in the use of their arms and legs.

According to her, "The immediate outcome of the gesture is that most of them are ultimately going to leverage on the improved mobility aid to work better to earn a living.

"With improved mobility, their living condition will improve and hopefully there will be better income from employment, business or other engagements."

The first phased of the programme took place last December 16, 2014.
