The announcement comes months after Fayose revealed in March that his wife had been battling cancer.

During a visit to his family in Australia at the time, he had spoken emotionally about her deteriorating health condition.

“My wife is not feeling well. When I got here, she was very weak. The same woman who usually picks me up at the airport couldn’t come, so I had to take an Uber.

“She used to cook for me, but now I find myself cooking for her. She couldn’t cook or talk. I sat beside her and sang her favourite song; she held my hand as I sang,” he said in tears.
