Renowned clergyman and Senior Pastor of Trinity House, Ituah Ighodalo, has said he is now open to the possibility of remarriage.
Pastor Ighodalo revealed this in a chat with Jimi Disu, years after the passing of his wife, Ibidunni Ighodalo, who died while on official duty in Rivers State.
In the years following her death, the cleric repeatedly stated that remarrying was not something he was considering as he had found healing and redirected his focus towards his ministry.
He once said it would be difficult for him because he gave everything to his late wife and had nothing left for anyone else.
But in the interview with Disu on Nigeria Info FM, Ighodalo revealed that he now thinks remarrying is possible.
Highlighting his journey of healing and personal growth five years after the passing of his wife, Ighodalo said while people have been pressuring him to remarry, he is choosing to follow his heart, which is gradually opening up to the idea.

When asked if he has a girlfriend or a new romantic interest, he laughed and said: “It’s hard to say,” noting that while he had explored the path of love again in the past, he now prefers to leave such matters in God’s hands rather than succumb to societal pressure.
He also dismissed rumours linking him to anyone in particular but admitted that his experience has shown him that love after loss might be possible.
Ighodalo added:
“When Ibidun died, I thought it was impossible because I had given her so much, I had no more love to give. However, time heals, and time compensates.
A lot of people are putting me under pressure, but I am not listening to them. I am listening to my heart, and my heart says that it is still possible.
I cannot say there is someone at the corner. I’ve been down that road many times. I believe in God and focus on Him. It has not been an easy decision. There are many things to consider.”
