Tears, Shock as Fayose’s Wife Dies; Cause of Death Revealed

Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has announced the death of his wife after a prolonged battle with cancer.

According to Naija News, the social commentator shared the sad news on Instagram with a candle image, alongside a farewell message.

“Rest in peace my darling wife, odabo oyinbo mi”, he wrote.

Before her death, Fayose had opened up about the severity of her illness.

He said he travelled to Australia to spend time with his family, but was met with a painful reality as his wife had become extremely weak due to cancer.

He explained that she was no longer able to speak or carry out basic daily activities. According to him, the woman who once welcomed him at the airport could no longer do so, and he had to make his way from the airport by Uber.

He also described how roles had reversed in the home, saying he now had to take care of her, including cooking for her, as she could no longer do so herself. He added that he spent time beside her, singing her favourite songs, while she responded only by holding his hand.

In his emotional reflection, he also spoke about life and wealth, stressing that money and material possessions could not stop illness or death, and questioned the actions of those who use public office to take what belongs to others.
