In a recent announcement, Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, revealed he will be stepping back from public events on medical advice after feeling unwell during a recent event in Enugu.
In a post shared on his official X account, Obi expressed his commitment to his health, stating that a doctor recommended a brief period of rest and prescribed medication. He emphasized, “In obedience to the doctor’s advice, I will not be able to meet up with all my scheduled engagements this weekend, both within and outside the country. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and humbly ask for your understanding.”
Obi also reflected on his recent activities, including his attendance at a tourism event in Enugu. Afterward, he visited the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Anambra State, where he made a generous initial contribution of ₦10 million. This donation is aimed at supporting the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria in acquiring and revitalizing the hospital.
He praised the Diocese’s ambitious plan to transform the facility into a comprehensive health complex, which will include a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology. Obi highlighted the importance of investing in healthcare, calling it one of the most significant contributions to the nation’s future.
Following his visit to Isulo, Obi continued to Owerri in Imo State, where he attended a dinner organized by Barrister Nnaemeka Maduagwu in honor of former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
As Peter Obi prioritizes his health, he remains committed to his philanthropic efforts and public service, demonstrating his dedication to the well-being of his community and country.
