Peter Obi announces medical rest, pauses public events

Mr. Peter Obi

Peter Obi, former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has announced a short medical break, suspending all scheduled activities both in Nigeria and abroad this weekend. 

He disclosed on Saturday via his X account that he fell ill during a tourism event in Enugu on Friday.

“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,” he wrote.

Obi, despite his recent health challenges, however, visited Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South LGA, Anambra State, and donated ₦10 million to support its acquisition and revitalisation by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria.

He praised the diocese’s vision to upgrade the hospital into a comprehensive health complex that will include a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology, aimed at improving healthcare services and training skilled professionals for the community.

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