On January 25, 2025, Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi released a statement detailing his ongoing nationwide efforts to support critical areas of development such as health, education, and poverty alleviation.
Yesterday, Obi had the opportunity to visit a vital healthcare facility operated by the IHM Health System in the remote rural community of Mmiata, Anambra East Local Government of Anambra State. The facility, managed by the Immaculate Heart Sisters, provides essential services to the local population.
Last year, with the support of kind-hearted Nigerian Prof. Ozuah, Obi donated N75 million to their Specialist Hospital in Nkpor. To further support their remarkable work, especially in rural areas like Mmiata-Anam, Obi and Prof. Ozuah contributed an additional N25 million to the facility, which Obi handed over during his tenure as Governor and has since seen great improvements and expansion. It remains the only hospital serving the area.
Throughout his public service career, Obi has consistently maintained that investing in critical areas such as health, education, and poverty alleviation through support for small businesses and humanitarian gestures is the most effective path to national growth and development. He remains committed to replicating similar support for key institutions across the nation.
Obi expressed his sincere gratitude to the proprietor, management, and staff of the healthcare facility for their dedication, which has enabled the hospital to grow and improve its services to poor communities. Through these critical investments, Obi believes the foundations of society will be strengthened, building a healthy and productive nation.
“A New Nigeria is POssible if we work towards it,” Obi concluded.
