Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has revealed that his wife is battling cancer, describing it as a profoundly difficult period for him and his family.
Sharing the news on social media, Isaac, who is currently in Australia visiting his family, explained that his wife, who normally greets him at the airport, was too weak to do so.
“I’m in Australia to visit my family. When I came in, my wife who usually comes to pick me at the airport, my wife who used to welcome me with warm hugs, my wife who used to cook my favourite food whenever I come… could not even talk, couldn’t open her eyes. She was very weak because she is down with cancer,” he said.
He recounted sitting by her side and singing her favorite song to lift her spirits. Though unable to speak or open her eyes, she held his hand tightly, showing she could hear him.
“Our one million dollar house couldn’t save my wife. My wealth couldn’t save my wife. She was lying there, holding my hand helplessly. To you politicians that are taking people’s money, have you forgotten that a day like this will come?” Isaac reflected, urging leaders to act responsibly.
He added, “If it is going to remain one hour for me to leave this earth, my voice, my time, and my wealth will be to help people. As I was holding my wife, they were sending me videos from Ekiti hospital maternity ward—no light, no water. Please, politicians, think about it. One day, all of us will leave this world.”
“I had a strong experience today. I’m in Australia to visit my family, but this visit is different. My wife is critically ill, she’s so unwell she couldn’t even come to pick me up at the airport as usual.”🥹🥹
