Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, has reportedly felt exhausted after a busy run of political events.
NDC Deputy Campaign Spokesperson Sam Omale shared this on a television programme on Tuesday.
Omale brushed aside concerns about Obi's health.
He blamed the fatigue on frequent travel and heavy schedules at home and abroad.
He said Obi moves between international engagements and campaign events in short spaces of time.
"Sometimes I wonder where he gets his energy from.
He is in London today and in Enugu the following morning.
I am wondering how he does it.
Exhaustion comes in; he is a human being," Omale said.
He added, He is in perfect health.
There is nothing wrong with him.
It is just exhaustion, and we are trying to calm him down so he can sleep. He is fine."
Omale said the situation will not affect the party's campaign activities.
He said people close to Obi are urging him to slow down and rest.
