My wife filed for divorce without any quarrel – Gospel singer Asu Ekiye

Gospel singer Asu Ekiye said on Saturday that his wife Kunemofa Asu moved out of the house and began divorce proceedings without any quarrel between them.

n

The musician had announced the end of his 28-year marriage in a Facebook post on Thursday.

n

Inundated with requests about what transpired, he said in a fresh statement posted on Facebook that he did not initiate proceedings for the dissolution of the marriage.

n

“The decision regarding the dissolution of my marriage was not one I initiated. My wife expressed her desire to end the marriage, packed out of my house and subsequently instituted divorce proceedings without any quarrels,” he said.

n

“For about a year thereafter, I made every reasonable effort, and appealed to her in every way I could, hoping that we could reconsider and preserve the marriage. Unfortunately, those efforts did not yield the desired outcome, as she remained firm in her decision.”

n

Ekiye said he had accepted the reality of the situation and decided to allow the divorce process continue.

n

“I wish to make this clarification simply to set the record straight. I bear no bitterness or ill will toward anyone. After many years of shared experiences, I choose to approach this new chapter with grace, dignity, maturity and respect for all concerned,” he added.

In his initial statement, the Bayelsa State-born singer, popularly known as the Prince of the Niger Delta, did not disclose the reason for the end of the marriage.
