In an interview with TV3, the actor said he would turn 80 in six months and recalled appealing to the government for financial assistance for an ailing colleague, who reportedly received ₦500,000 the following week.
Pete Edochie also opened up about his current health challenges during a visit to ailing Ghanaian actor Emmanuel Armah in Accra.
