Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has announced the death of his wife.
Fayose made the heartbreaking announcement in a post shared on Instagram on Saturday.
Posting a photo of a candlelight, he wrote, “Rest In Peace, My darling wife.”
In another emotional tribute, where he shared photographs of his late wife, Fayose simply wrote, “Odaro oyinbo mi.”
The sad development comes months after Fayose publicly revealed that his wife had been battling cancer during a visit to his family in Australia.
Speaking emotionally in a video shared on Instagram in March, he recounted how her condition had worsened and how their usual family routine had suddenly changed.
“My wife is not feeling well. When I got here, she was very weak. The same woman who usually picks me up at the airport couldn’t come, so I had to take an Uber.
“She used to cook for me, but now I find myself cooking for her. She couldn’t cook or talk. I sat beside her and sang her favourite song; she held my hand as I sang,” Fayose said in tears.
Following the announcement of her death, sympathisers, fans and several celebrities flooded his social media page with condolence messages.
Among those who reacted were actress Yvonne Jegede, comedian Ali Baba and veteran musician Daddy Showkey, alongside many other followers who prayed for strength for the grievin.g family.
