The Media Adviser to former Governor of Anambra State and Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 23 Presidential election, Mr. Peter Obi, Valentine Obienyem has refuted reports in some section of the media to the effect that the former Governor suffered heart attack and was admitted in Anambra hospital, describing the reports as handiwork of mischief makers.
Obienyem, in a statement yesterday said that contrary to the reports, Obi only felt a bit feverish and had to visit a hospital at Onitsha and later returned to his office to continue his work.
In his words,” Yesterday, I posted a report of how the former Governor of Anambra State felt a bit feverish and had to visit a Hospital at Onitsha. I equally reported that he returned and went straight to office to continue his work. We spent the whole day planning on the focus of his next apostolate: support to 50 selected hospitals.
“Today, (yesterday) the reckless fringe twisted the report that Obi suffered a heart attack. I should believe that anybody capable of coming out with such a wicked and twisted lie is as well as wishing him dead. But the sooner they realize that God is the creator and custodian of all lives, the better for them.
“May I therefore use this medium to inform the public that Obi did not suffer any heart attack or any debilitating illness. He felt a bit feverish, which is one of the pangs of humanity, visited a hospital in Anambra State and that is all. Mr. Peter Obi is hale and hearty.
“Though the reactions of many are that the wish of those liars for Obi should visit them, Obi’s position is that we should continue praying for the harbingers of such wicked news to realize that life belongs to God. He encourages wealthy Nigerians to remember the sick and extend our hands of love to them always”.
