JUST IN: Labour Party Chieftain, Pat Utomi Is Battling With Cancer [DETAILS]

JUST IN: Labour Party Chieftain, Pat Utomi Is Battling With Cancer [DETAILS]—-A chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), Professor Pat Utomi has revealed his struggle with cancer.

In a tweet on Friday, the professor of political economy and management expert revealed that a biopsy he conducted in 2022 showed he was positive.

He posted: “When a biopsy showed I was positive in 2022, I began treatment with a branch of a cancer centre in Ikeja and VI.

“I sometimes came from election campaigns to the centre near the Airport. The doctors would try to smuggle me out from the back.”

He explained that his young nephews and cousins, who were medical doctors in Europe and the US, joined forces with the Lakeshore people and decided they wanted him in their direct care after the election.

“That is why it seemed I went quiet because they controlled my phones to reduce stress,” he stated.

Did not see why it was taboo to say you were in a battle with Cancer. The more I talked about it the more I found many of my age in similar circumstances. It almost seems like an epidemic for Nigerian men over 60. Not talking makes them lose the benefit of early detection
