Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has resumed public engagements after taking a break due to health reasons.
Obi announced last weekend that he is taking a break from all scheduled events after he contracted a virus during an event in Enugu.
The former Anambra governor said he was given medication at a hospital and advised to rest for at least two days.
In a post on X on Monday, Obi confirmed that he had resumed engagements with a visit to Maison de Helen (MDH), a luxury fashion brand in Lagos.
“Let me begin by thanking everyone who wished me well during my short time away from engagements on the doctor’s advice,” he wrote.
He described MDH as “a living proof of how Nigerian creativity, heritage, and enterprise can resonate on the global stage”.
“Looking at the factory today and watching the dedication of the workers, especially in little details, continues to show what is possible, if we are committed to moving the country from consumption to production by supporting SMEs,” Obi added.
He said SMEs are the backbone of any economy and investing in them would serve as an engine to lift millions out of poverty and position Nigeria as a hub of creativity and trade.
The politician is one of the presidential hopefuls on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition ahead of the 2027 general election.
