Edochie, currently in Ghana for the launch of his Legacy Project, took the time to visit Armah, who has been absent from the screen for years due to a debilitating stroke. During their meeting, Edochie presented Armah with cash and an additional gift he had received earlier. Beyond the monetary support, Edochie used the opportunity to raise awareness about Armah's condition and encouraged the public to keep the veteran actor in their prayers. Armah, who now uses a wheelchair and requires assistance in his daily life, remains a respected figure in Ghana's film industry, particularly for his contributions to early collaborations between Ghana and Nigeria. The two actors share a longstanding friendship that dates back to their time working together on several productions in Nigeria, making this visit more than a simple courtesy call. It was an opportunity for Edochie to reconnect with a dear colleague and friend while providing practical support during a difficult period in Armah's life. The gesture has reignited discussions about the need to support veteran actors whose contributions to the growth of the film industry continue to be remembered long after they leave the screen.",
