In a poignant gesture of remembrance, Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has chosen to forego celebrating her birthday and instead dedicate the day to her late colleague, Junior Pope.
On her Instagram page, Rita, known as the sister-in-law of Pete Edochie, expressed her profound sorrow over Junior Pope’s passing. She recounted how Junior Pope, without fail, would mark her birthdays with calls, messages, and online posts. This year, however, his absence left a void that Rita finds difficult to comprehend.
In a heartfelt message, Rita declared her refusal to celebrate the day as she awaits a sign from Junior Pope. She shared her disbelief at his untimely death, emphasizing his youthfulness and the impact his loss has had on her.
In a promise to cherish his memory, Rita pledged to keep their shared moments alive in her heart. She extended her prayers to Junior Pope’s family, especially his wife, Qutejay, wishing them strength and resilience during this trying time.
