Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 poll Peter Obi has paid a visit to entertainer Charly Boy at his Lagos residence.
Mr Obi shared photos of the visit on social media on Friday night, saying the visit took place the previous day.
According to the presidential candidate, he visited Charly Boy over the news of 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.
“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.”
Last month, Charly Boy, a known supporter of Obi, disclosed he had been battling prostate cancer for over 10 days.
“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, revealed he was treated in Nigeria, giving special thanks to his doctor Kingsley Ekwueme, a professor at Wrexham Glyndŵr University in the UK, who cared for him.
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.
