Nigerian clergyman, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo has paid tribute to his late wife, Ibidun Ighodalo, on the 5th anniversary of her passing. In a heartfelt message shared on Instagram, the pastor spoke about the deep void her absence has created while expressing gratitude for the bond they continue to share.
Reflecting on their enduring connection, Pastor Ituah described Ibidun as an integral part of his life and team, emphasizing how her memory lives on in his heart. He admitted that life has been challenging without her presence but found solace in believing that she watches over them from heaven.
Life isn’t always what it seems to be. Words can’t express what you mean to me. Even though you’re gone, we are still a team. It’s hard with you not around, knowing you are in Heaven, smiling down, watching us while we pray for you. Every day we pray for you, till the day we meet again. In my heart is where I’ll keep you,” he wrote.
Ibidun Ituah Ighodalo, a celebrated entrepreneur and CEO of Elizabeth R, passed away on June 14, 2020, at the age of 39. She died of cardiac arrest in Port Harcourt while on an official assignment. Her death sent shockwaves through Nigeria and beyond, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of many.
She was laid to rest on June 20, 2020, in Lagos, during an emotional ceremony attended by loved ones.
Over the years, Pastor Ituah has found various ways to honour her memory. On her 42nd posthumous birthday in 2022, he and their children visited her graveside, sharing quiet moments of reflection. The same year, during her second remembrance, the Ighodalo family held a memorial service attended by close relatives and friends, including Ibidun’s mother and siblings.
