Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu and top female politicians have paid a visit to Nigeria’s ailing veteran actor, Zack Orji, at the National Hospital in Abuja.
Mrs. Tinubu, who was also at the hospital to celebrate the first baby of the year, was accompanied by the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima; and the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye.
In the entourage was the wife of the Minister for Works, Rachael Umahi; and the wife of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, among others.
Details of her visit to Zack Orji are still sketchy but reports say she was with the actor for about 13 minutes.
His health is said to have improved since getting to the hospital, following the intervention of the social development minister who ensured that he got the best medical attention the national hospital could offer.
Speaking to newsmen on Monday, the National Hospital Public Relations Officer (PRO), Tayo Hastrup, said Orji is now in stable condition.
“He has started talking. He is in stable condition. His wife is by his side. We really thank God for him,” he said.
Orji was admitted to the National Hospital at the weekend after he slumped in his toilet.
