The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) says its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is in good health and that reports of exhaustion are due to fatigue from a demanding campaign schedule. NDC deputy campaign figures say Obi has been physically worn out by frequent travel and tightly packed engagements, and they urge him to rest.
NDC’s Dr. Sam Omale, quoted across multiple reports, dismisses claims of any medical problem. He says Obi is “in perfect health” and that the issue is exhaustion, with campaign activities continuing as normal. Other coverage highlights criticism from government-affiliated commentators, including a response on social media that mocks Obi’s condition.
Overall, outlets largely agree that Obi’s exhaustion was reported and that NDC officials respond by attributing it to campaign strain. Differences mainly appear in tone and emphasis, with some outlets foregrounding the party’s reassurance and others leading with skepticism from critics.
