He will not die but live to declare the good works of God in Jesus name”.
It was reported years back, that the actor was battling for his life and was in critical condition in the ICU of the National Hospital in Abuja.
Zack Orji’s friends affirmed that he was unable to walk or talk and all tests have been done to ascertain what’s wrong.
Barrister Hannatu Musawa, the Minister of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy, visited him. Alongside First Lady of Nigeria, Remi Tinubu.
However, in January, Musawa gave an update on his health, disclosing that the 64- year old actor had undergone brain surgery after being transferred to a private hospital in Abuja.
She pleaded with Nigerians to show their support for him, describing him as a national asset.
