During his visit, Afod had an interview with the veteran about his health challenges and acting career while he was still active.
Afod also called on his fans to raise funds for Oyewo so he can continue to cater to his health in old age.
Kola Oyewo shares battle with illness
Speaking about his health, the octogenarian said he is getting better after being diagnosed with an enlarged prostate.
According to him, he initially struggled with urine control when the condition began, and his movement was also restricted due to his heart condition.
He explained that he can still take on a few acting roles that do not require much movement.
The actor noted that when he was advised to seek treatment in Akure after his diagnosis, he returned home instead and continued treatment with his doctor.

According to him, he once shared the same class at the university with his son, Adeyemi, and later went on to complete his PhD in 2005.
He worked at Ekiti State University as an Associate Professor before retirement and also served at Redeemer’s University.
The veteran noted that it was his late wife who collected his GCE form, which helped him return to school and earn more degrees.
Kola Oyewo speaks on acting career
Oyewo also stated that he began acting with Oyin Adejobi at the age of nine.
He said people often assumed he was Oyin Adejobi’s biological son due to how young he was when he started working with him.
He later moved to Ori Olokun Cultural Theatre, where he was recruited by Olarotimi.
The veteran added that in his early days, they travelled from place to place performing stage plays.
Recall that Afod had visited several veterans in the past, including Elere Pianos, whom he gifted on his birthday, and also renovated his house.
