Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) Presidential candidate, paid a visit to outspoken entertainer Charly Boy at his Lagos home.
It will be remembered that Charly Boy, a known Obi supporter, revealed he was battling prostate cancer.
I have fought one too many battles in my short life. Most of the time, I win. Prostate cancer cannot cripple love nor shatter hope; it cannot conquer dis spirit. Abegi make una help me thank God for giving me yet another chance, he said in a video shared on Instagram.
Charly Boy, 72, also expressed gratitude to his doctor, Kingsley Ekwueme, a professor at Wrexham Glyndr University in the United Kingdom who cared for him in Nigeria.
Obi posted photos of his visit to Charly Boy on social media on Friday night, noting that he went there on Thursday.
According to the former Anambra governor, he went to see Charly Boy about his health.
Yesterday, I paid a visit to my very dear elder brother, Charly Boy @AreaFada1 at his residence in Lagos following the recent news of his ill health, he said.
He continued by saying;
I was happy to meet him in his usual high spirit and cheerful mood and was convinced that he is the overcomer that he has always been. We spent quality and fraternal moments discussing the way forward for our dear country.
I wished him many more years of good health of the body and mind as he continues to contribute to the development of the nation.
Some veteran actors who suffered prostate cancer before their death are Sadiq Daba, who died in March 2021, and Ola Omonitan aka Ajimajasan who died in October 2018.
