The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has announced a temporary suspension of public engagements to take a short medical rest.
The one-time Anambra state governor in a post on his X handle on Saturday, stated that he fell ill while attending a tourism event in Enugu on Friday.
Obi said, “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 of rest.
“In obedience to the doctor’s advice, I will not be able to meet up with all my scheduled engagements this weekend. I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this might cause and humbly plead for understanding.”

Obi also stated that he visited the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra, where he donated N10m towards its acquisition and revitalisation by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria.
He lauded the diocese’s plans to transform the facility into a full-scale health complex with a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology.
“Healthcare remains one of the most meaningful investments we can make. Together, we can build a healthier Nigeria,” he added.
