No doubt, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo has played the role of a good widower so well and has done much to keep the memories of his late wife alive. He has ensured a continuation of some of her legacies like the Ibidun Ighodalo foundation. For instance, as Chairman of the foundation, he superintended over '40 Lives At 40' initiative started by Ibidun to support IVF treatments for 40 families facing fertility challenges. She died before the execution of the project, but Pastor Ituah worked with the foundation to make it a reality in 2020.
However, things are moving quickly and two years on, the principle that life goes on seems to already be at play in Pastor Ituah's life. CityScoop have it on reliable account that the easy-talking pastor is already adjusting his life and perhaps looking ahead. We scooped that a new woman is filling the space left by Ibidun, although not open to the public. The new lady, according to our source is not an outsider to the Ighodalos, our source hinted with confidence.
Another of late Ibidun's legacy kept afloat since her demise is her events company, Elizabeth R, which is still running smoothly. The new young lady in the picture is not also an outsider in the Elizabeth R business. We learnt that she was very close to Ibidun while alive. She is also not a stranger to the two children Ibidun left behind, Unuakemonyi and Ehizenan.
Although, early this year, Pastor Ituah said he had no plan to remarry anytime soon. In an interview with Media Room Hub, he said he has decided to remain a single father while he continues to keep his late wife’s dreams alive. Mr Ighodalo married the late event planner and ex-beauty queen in 2007. “I love Ibidun very much, I still love her and I gave her everything that I have. I don’t know if I have anything to give anybody again. I think it is unfair to marry somebody to whom you cannot give everything. I gave Ibidun everything that I have to give in terms of love and looking after a person. I married her intentionally to look after her. I don’t have that energy anymore, and I don’t want my life complicated with anything, and I don’t need anything from anybody, I am okay as I am. I don’t know what will happen in 10 years or 15 years or 20 years, I don’t know but as I am now it is not anything I think or desire.”, he said in the interview.
