Ghanaian actor John Peasah, known for his role as Drogba on the popular TV show YOLO, has reached out to the Vice President of the Republic, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for assistance as he battles a demyelinating disease.

This condition, which has plagued Peasah for over two years, severely affects his nervous system, leading to a significant decline in his ability to communicate and move around.

Back in March, when news first broke that Peasah was gravely ill, Vice President Bawumia visited the actor at his residence. The visit brought hope to Peasah and his fans, as the Vice President promised to support the actor in his fight against the debilitating disease.

Demyelinating disease damages the protective covering surrounding nerve fibres in the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord. This damage disrupts the signals travelling along the nerves, causing various neurological problems.
