Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has announced that he will be stepping back briefly from public activities following medical advice to rest.
In a post on his official X handle on Saturday, the former Anambra State governor revealed that he began feeling unwell while attending an event in Enugu.
However, after consulting with a doctor, he was prescribed medication and advised to rest for one or two days.
“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 politician also outlined his recent engagements before the health scare, which included a tourism event in Enugu before visiting Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South LGA, Anambra State, where he made an initial contribution of ₦10 million to support the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria in acquiring and revitalising the hospital.
Obi commended the Diocese’s vision to transform the facility into a comprehensive health complex with a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology, describing healthcare investment as “one of the most meaningful for the country.”
From Isulo, Obi proceeded to Owerri, Imo State, where he joined a dinner hosted by Barrister Nnaemeka Maduagwu in honour of former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
