“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 stated.

Despite the temporary health setback, Obi disclosed that he visited the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo, Orumba South LGA, Anambra State, where he contributed ₦10 million to support its acquisition and revitalisation by the Aguata Diocese of the Church of Nigeria.
He praised the diocese’s initiative to transform the facility into a comprehensive health complex, including a School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health Technology, highlighting the project’s potential impact on healthcare development in the region.
