Popular social commentator Isaac Fayose has shared an emotional update, revealing that his wife is currently battling cancer.
In an Instagram video, Fayose recounted how he recently traveled to Australia to visit his family, only to face the heartbreaking reality of his wife’s deteriorating health.
He described how she was too weak to greet him, a stark change from her usual routine of welcoming him at the airport and preparing meals for him. Fayose had to take an Uber home and cook for himself, while his wife lay unable to speak or move.
While sitting beside her, he sang her favourite hymn, Abide With Me, first in English and then in Yoruba, in an effort to comfort her. Although her eyes remained closed, she gently squeezed his hand, showing that she could still hear him.
“My wife has cancer, and she’s very unwell. When I arrived, she was too weak even to turn and greet me. Normally, she picks me up from the airport and cooks for me, but this time, I had to take an Uber. I had to prepare meals for her because she couldn’t cook or speak,” Fayose said, visibly emotional.
He used the moment to highlight the broader issues in Nigeria, stressing that wealth cannot prevent illness or save lives. Fayose criticised politicians for mismanaging public funds while hospitals remain in poor condition, referencing reports of hospitals in Ekiti lacking basic amenities like electricity and running water.
“Our one-million-dollar house couldn’t save my wife. My wealth couldn’t save her. She was lying there helpless. Why make others suffer while we have so much? Even my money couldn’t save her,” he lamented.
Fayose also addressed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging him to consider stepping down due to his age of 74 and allow new leadership to tackle the country’s challenges.
Fans and fellow celebrities, including Davido, Daddy Freeze, Williams Bankole, Shina Peller, and Do2dtun, have flooded Fayose’s social media with messages of support and prayers for his wife.
