Peter Obi Announces Break From Public Activities To Attend To His Health, Apologizes To Those His Absence Will Affect.
Former Anambra State governor and the 2023 Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has announced that he will be taking a short break from his official and public engagements to prioritise his health.
Obi disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, explaining that the decision followed medical advice after he began feeling unwell during his engagements in Enugu.
"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," he revealed.
The former governor stressed that he would be unable to attend several scheduled activities both within and outside Nigeria this weekend due to the doctor’s instruction.
"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."
Expressing regret to those who may be affected by his absence, Obi tendered an apology and sought understanding from his supporters and the public.
"I sincerely apologise for any inconveniences this might cause and humbly plead for understanding."
Despite his recent activities, Obi stressed that his health remains a priority and that he will adhere strictly to medical guidance.
