Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has announced that he will be stepping back briefly from public engagements after receiving medical advice to rest.
Obi disclosed this on Saturday through his official X handle, explaining that he felt unwell while attending an event in Enugu. He noted that his doctor prescribed medication and recommended one or two days of rest.
“In obedience to the doctor’s advice, I will not be able to meet up with all my scheduled engagements within and outside the country this weekend. I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences this might cause and humbly plead for understanding,” Obi wrote.
The former Anambra State governor also reflected on his recent engagements. He said that after speaking at a tourism event in Enugu, he travelled to Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South LGA, Anambra State, recently acquired by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria where he made an initial contribution of ₦10 million to support the hospital’s revitalisation.
According to him, the Diocese plans to transform the hospital into a full-fledged health complex with a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology, an initiative he commended as a vital investment in Nigeria’s healthcare sector.
From Isulo, Obi proceeded to Owerri, Imo State, where he attended a dinner organised by Barrister Nnaemeka Maduagwu in honour of former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
