Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has disclosed that he is currently struggling to walk and has been experiencing swelling in different parts of his body.
Edochie revealed his health challenges while visiting ailing Ghanaian actor Emmanuel Armah in Accra, where he also prayed for his colleague’s recovery and offered financial support for his care.
Speaking about his own condition during the visit, Edochie said he remains hopeful of getting better despite the physical difficulties he is currently facing.
“Sitting down here, I’m not very well myself. Walking is a problem for me now, but I still have hope that I will recover myself. Sometimes I get up and parts of my body are swollen. After sometime it goes down again. Like my hand is swollen now, later my leg.” he said.
The veteran actor also expressed concern about becoming a burden to the people around him, saying he would rather not put them through such difficulty when his time comes.
“I just keep asking God, ‘you are the author of life. Whenever you feel it’s time for me to go, just take me, don’t let me be bother the people who are around me. Just take me.”
