Leo Mezie, battling kidney failure, says he’s ‘stronger and better’

Leo Mezie, a Nollywood actor who has been bedridden due to a kidney ailment, says he’s doing much better than before.

The actor, in a video message, also appreciated those who stood by him and expressed gratitude for the financial support sent his way.

“I want to use this medium to say a big thank you for all your supports, financially and your prayers. I just want to let you know that everything got across to me”, he said.

“I want to also thank in a special way, my president Ibinabo Fiberesima, Chioma Okoroye, my sister, Kelly Akara, my wonderful friend and brother.

“I want to thank Chijiro, I want to thank Ifeoma Okereke: these are the team who sprung into action immediately the news got broken. I thank you guys, I thank you all in a million fold.

“I’m sorry this came a bit late, just that I’ve been unstable, but I’m now stronger and better”, Mezie added.

N10 million, which was needed for a kidney transplant, was in July 2016 raised for the actor.

Mezie is presently in London for the procedure.
