“She battled cancer for the better part of two years, she stood on the Word of God, and she fought.
“She gave me 11 beautiful years of marriage and two wonderful boys, who I know will be very significant in life.
“I loved her with all my heart, but who am I to fight with the will of God.
“The truth is, at one point in our lives, we all will have to say goodbye. So for now, till we meet again in glory, Goodbye Nomthi.”
It would be recalled that Odukoya’s first wife, Pastor Bimbo, died in a Sosoliso plane crash in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on December 10, 2005.
