Pastor Taiwo Odukoya’s children, Tolu and Jimmy, have penned a glowing tribute to their stepmother, Nomthi, who died on Tuesday after a two-year battle with cancer.
Odukoya, who is the senior pastor of Fountain of Life Church, got married to Nomthi in 2010 after the death of his first wife, Bimbo, in the 2005 Sosoliso plane crash.
Nomthi, in her 11 years of marrying the cleric, had two sons for him: Jomiloju and Timilehin Odukoya.
Nollywood actor, Jimmy Odukoya, who is Taiwo and Bimbo’s son, on Wednesday penned an emotional tribute to his stepmother, Nomthi, stating that he’ll take care of his father and her sons.
Jimmy wrote on his Instagram page, “For we do not grieve as though we have no hope, for we are confident of this one thing; To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
