Nigerian singer Niniola Apata has shared an emotional tribute following the death of her husband, Michael Ndika, saying she is struggling to come to terms with his passing.
Ndika reportedly died on May 20, with details surrounding his death still undisclosed.
In a post on her Instagram page on Thursday, the singer reflected on their close bond, describing him as her closest companion, business partner and emotional anchor.
She also revealed that they had been together for 13 years, adding that his absence has left a painful void in her life.
“I find myself waiting, expecting Michael to walk through the door… My BEST FRIEND my CONFIDANT my PILLAR my Gossip Partner my LAUGHTER my JOY GIVER my Provider my business partner my HUSBAND my BROTHER,” she wrote.
“HE was the air I breathe I can’t survive this… I looked forward to him coming home everytime he went out… Even in the house we were always together He never wanted me to be away from him.
“Always wanted me to be by his side I’m naturally a LONER and Micheal was all that I needed because he was one in a Million … He touched my life in different capacities And God took him from me.”
