The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has suspended all his scheduled public engagements within and outside Nigeria after taking ill in Enugu on Friday.

Mr Obi confirmed the development in a statement posted on his official X handle on Saturday, explaining that doctors advised him to rest after he was hospitalised briefly.

“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 this weekend. I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences this might cause and humbly plead for understanding,” he wrote.

Despite his health setback, Mr Obi disclosed that he still visited the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State, where he donated ₦10 million to support its planned transformation into a full-scale health complex with a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology.

He described healthcare as one of the most meaningful investments for the nation’s future, stressing that Nigeria must prioritise strengthening its health institutions.
