As her birthday approaches in a few days, Omowunmi, the widow of the late singer Mohbad, has made a heartfelt appeal to Nigerians.
Taking to her Instagram story, she urged Nigerians to celebrate her husband on her birthday, rather than her. She noted how this is the first time in many years, she will be celebrating her birthday without him
Omowunmi described Mohbad as not only her husband but her bestfriend, confidant, gist partner and more. She disclosed that the best birthday gift he gave her before his death was their son, Liam.
Begging his fans, she told them to celebrate the life the singer lived and to pray for his spirit.
“This is the first time in many years that I’ll be celebrating my birthday without my husband promise! He was not just my husband, but also my best friend, confidant, gist partner and more. Today, all I want for my birthday is for his fans across the world to celebrate the life he lived.
I beg you all to say a prayer for the spirit of Ileriouluwa! Whether you choose to pray silently in your heart or post his picture on your profile. I ask that you sincerely pray for the soul of Ileriouluwa.
Let this day be dedicated to him, rather than to me. Because he has given me the best birthday gift before he was snatched from me! He gave me the gift of himself through our son, Liam. A child that I will love and cherish till the end of time.
Please celebrate Mohbad”
