Former Anambra State Governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has announced that he will be taking a short break from public engagements following medical advice to rest.
Obi disclosed this in a statement released on his official X account, where he explained that he began feeling unwell while attending a tourism event in Enugu. He later visited a hospital where doctors prescribed medication and recommended one to two days of rest.
“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 within and outside the country this weekend,” Obi said.
The former governor apologised to his supporters and those expecting him at upcoming events, pleading for understanding.
“I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences this might cause and humbly plead for understanding,” he added.
Despite his health setback, Obi maintained his focus on healthcare development. He revealed that he had donated ₦10 million to support the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria in its acquisition and revitalisation of the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
