Obi disclosed the development on Saturday through a statement posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle. According to him, he began feeling unwell while attending a tourism event in Enugu on Friday and was subsequently advised by a doctor to rest for a few days.
“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,” Obi wrote. “In obedience to the doctor’s advice, I will not be able to meet up with all my scheduledengagements this weekend. I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this might cause and humbly plead for understanding.”
Despite his health setback, Obi managed to visit the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State. During the visit, he donated ₦10 million to support the facility’s revitalisation, a project being undertaken by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria.
He praised the diocese’s initiative to transform the hospital into a comprehensive healthcare institution, complete 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,” Obi stated.
The former Anambra State governor has been known for his consistent advocacy for improved healthcare and education infrastructure across the country.
