Actress Ngozi Orji, wife of ailing actor Zack Orji, has called on the general public to assist her husband financially. Ngozi made the appeal when Hannatu Musawa, the minister of art, culture and creative economy paid a recent visit to the sick actor in the hospital.
The minister revealed that Zack had undergone brain surgery. She also sympathised with the actor’s family, describing him as a national asset.
“God will heal him and he will be well. We will do all we can to support him. We solicit the collective prayers of Nigerians because he is like a part of our families. We have watched him entertain us and we see him as a national treasure. So the best we can do is to ensure that we support him to have the best treatment,” she said in parts.
Ngozi Orji who was also present during the visit, thanked the minister for her benevolence and for creating time to visit her husband and also appealed to the public for support.
“We thank God that he is alive today. He had an emergency surgery late last night after we moved him out of the previous hospital and that saved his life. We are happy that God has shown us mercy. We seek the support of kind Nigerians to pray for his quick recovery and assist us in any way they deem necessary, “ she said.
Zack, 64, slumped on December 29 and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja, before he was transferred to a private hospital for surgery.
