Panic as presidential flag bearer of Labour Party, in last general elections in Nigeria Peter Obi’s health reportedly deteriorates.
This was gathered after Peter Obi made this known in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, explaining that he began feeling unwell during an engagement in Enugu State earlier this week.
“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,” Peter Obi wrote.
The former Anambra State governor apologised for the disruption this may cause, while expressing gratitude for the understanding of his supporters and associates.
Recall that before the health scare, Mr Obi had participated in an event in Enugu and later visited the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The hospital is being acquired by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion).
During the visit, he announced a ₦10 million donation to support the diocese in revitalising the hospital into a comprehensive health complex that will include a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology.
From Isulo, Mr Obi travelled to Owerri, Imo State, where he attended a dinner organised by lawyer Nnaemeka Maduagwu in honour of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
Also, recall that since losing the 2023 presidential election to Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Obi has maintained a busy public schedule, often attending political, business, and faith-based events at home and abroad.
He has also been vocal on national issues, particularly the state of the economy, rising insecurity, and the need for improved governance.
