Peter Obi takes medical rest, suspends engagements

Former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has announced that he will be taking a short medical rest, resulting in the suspension of his planned engagements within and outside the country this weekend.

In a statement shared on his X handle on Saturday, Obi explained that he fell ill during a tourism event in Enugu on Friday and was advised by his doctor to rest for a day or two.

“Earlier in Enugu, I was not feeling well. I visited the hospital where the doctor gave me some medication and advised me to take a day or two days rest. In obedience to the doctor’s advice, I will not be able to meet up with all my scheduled engagements this weekend. I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences this might cause and humbly plead for understanding,” Obi wrote.

Despite the health setback, Obi said he visited the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South LGA of Anambra State, where he donated ₦10 million to support its acquisition and revitalisation by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria.

He commended the diocese’s plan to transform the facility into a comprehensive health complex with a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology.

“Healthcare remains one of the most meaningful investments we can make. Together, we can build a healthier Nigeria,” he added.
