Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has announced a temporary pause in his public engagements to take a brief medical break.
In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday, Obi revealed that he became unwell while attending a tourism event in Enugu on Friday.
He wrote: “While in Enugu, I started feeling unwell. I went to the hospital, where the doctor prescribed some medication and advised me to rest for a day or two.
“In line with this medical advice, I won’t be able to attend to my previously scheduled engagements over the weekend. I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and ask for your understanding.”
The former Anambra State governor also mentioned his recent visit to the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, located in the Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State. There, he donated ₦10 million to support its acquisition and revitalisation by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria.
He commended the diocese’s initiative to expand the hospital into a comprehensive healthcare facility that will include a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology.
“Investing in healthcare is one of the most impactful contributions we can make. Together, we can create a healthier Nigeria,” he added.
