However, efforts made by TopNaija.ng to know Okwuada’s current health status were not successful.
Okwuada’s support group on Facebook named Dr Philip Okwuada Support Group says, “This group is to beckon on the well-meaning sons and daughters of IKA to show support and solidarity to man of enviable character, a man of excellence in transparency, a man of the people for the people. A man you can count on for proper representation.”
