PDP 2019 Vice Presidential
candidate, Peter Obi is presently receiving treatment at an hospital after he
fell ill to an undisclosed ailment.
The former governor Anambra State
was admitted at the Rosary Hospital, Onitsha, for a few hours where his blood
samples were taken to run some tests.
Media Aide to Peter Obi,
Valentine Obienyem confirmed this saying:
“He only complained of being a
little feverish. Yes, he visited the hospital but has since returned and gone
back to work. ‘
“Like every human being, he gets
sick. But what struck me this afternoon was that one of his friends that
visited him, who also learnt that he visited the hospital, argued so vehemently
that for a person like him, any sign of discomfort should see him of the UK for
good care. “I watched in amusement when Mr. Peter Obi disagreed with him by
telling him that the urge to travel is because our leaders neglect the health
sector.”
He quoted Obi as saying:
“There are many hospitals I can
confidently visit when ever in Anambra State. I can visit Odumegwu-Ojukwu
Teaching Hospital at Awka, we got it accredited.
I can visit the General Hospital
at Onitsha, we also got it accredited. Mr… Know it today that Peter Obi can
visit Our Lady of Lourdes, Ihiala; Queen of Rosary, Onitsha; Borromeo, Onitsha;
St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu; Diocesan Hospital, Amichi. “Why do I say so?
I know the resources our
Government committed to these hospitals and I can testify the level of their
improvement before we left office. If leaders sustain such efforts, in 20
years, nobody should be talking of medical tourism.
I went to Waterside and received
fantastic treatment. I spent not up to 1/30th of what I would have spent If I
travelled. “Remember to add the flight ticket and other expenses. This is
exactly my argument when we started supporting mission hospitals – these
hospitals are in Anambra State and primarily treat people from the state.”
