Ituah Ighodalo, the senior pastor of the Trinity House Church, says he is now open to the possibility of remarriage.
The cleric’s wife, Ibidun Ighodalo, died of a heart attack in her sleep in June 2020, a few weeks before her 40th birthday.
In the years following her death, the cleric repeatedly stated that remarrying was not something he was considering.
He once said it would be difficult for him because “I gave everything” to his late wife and “have nothing left for anyone else.”
But Ighodalo seems to have changed his mind on the subject. He recently revealed that he now thinks remarrying is possible.
He said that while people have been pressuring him to remarry, he is choosing to follow his heart, which is gradually opening up to the idea.
The cleric further said that there is currently no one in view, as he is taking his time and trusting God while considering all necessary factors before making such a decision.
This new development is coming on the heels of the fifth anniversary of the death of his wife.
“When Ibidun died, I thought remarrying was impossible because I had given her so much. So, when I get asked about remarrying, my first response was I don’t have more love to give, but time heals,” he said.
“People are putting me under a lot of pressure, but I’m not listening to them, but to my heart. My heart is telling me that remarrying is possible.
“At the moment, there is no one in view, I’m just believing in God. It is not an easy decision, and there are things to consider. So, before I can get to that stage, we have to cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s.”
Back in March, Ighodalo, had dismissed rumours that he is planning to marry Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw. He said he was not aware of any marriage plans and joked that the blogger who started the rumour should pay a tithe from the money made off the speculation
“Not to the best of my knowledge,” he had said.
“That’s sometimes the problem with social media. People can say whatever they want, but the man or whoever is spreading that rumour is making money. Maybe when he finishes making that money, he should come and pay tithe.”
