National Leader of Labour Party Mr. Peter Obi, said he would be taking a short break from public engagements based on medical advice.
Obi in a post on his official X handle on Saturday, said he had not been feeling well, and his doctor prescribed medication and recommended one or two days of rest.
He wrote on the post, “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.”
The former Anambra State governor highlighted his recent activities to include a tourism event in Enugu before travelling to Good Hope Specialist Hospital, Isulo, Orumba South LGA of Anambra State.
Obi added that he made an initial contribution of ₦10 million to support the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria in acquiring and revitalising the hospital.
“Yesterday, after speaking at a Tourism event in Enugu, I travelled to Good Hope Specialist Hospital, Isulo, Orumba South LGA of Anambra State, which is being acquired by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria, and made my initial modest contribution of ₦10 million to aid the Diocese’s acquisition and revitalisation of the hospital facility,” he said.
Obi commended the Diocese’s plan to transform the hospital into a comprehensive health complex with a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology, describing healthcare as one of the most meaningful investments for the country.
From Isulo, the former governor said he proceeded to Owerri, Imo State, where he joined a dinner organised by Barrister Nnaemeka Maduagwu in honour of former Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
