The Nigerian man, Anthony Okechukwu Echebiri, who cried out that his estranged wife has left him and their daughters for another man has gone online to issue a heartfelt apology for her to forgive him and return to him.
Echebiri, a staff member of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), went viral on Facebook last week when he accused his wife, Okechukwu Adaobi Fortune, of bigamy.
He claimed that she left him two years ago and has now married another man who she is now pregnant for while still legally married to him.
However, his outcry was met with lack of sympathy on Facebook as some people brought up his post supporting actor YulEdochie for taking another wife. They told him that his wife also has a right to take another husband.
His wife later reacted and insinuated that she left because he treated her poorly (Read Here).
On the heels of the wife’s statement, Andrew released an apology in Facebook, begging his wife to forgive him for all he did and come back to him and their four daughters.
In the detailed Facebook post titled “My Sincere Apologies to My Sweetheart”, Echebiri expressed deep remorse for his actions.
He admitted to misunderstanding and hurting his wife, which he said led to the collapse of their marriage in April 2022.
The emotional post highlighted the toll their separation has taken on him and their children.
“MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO MY SWEETHEART — OKECHUKWU ADAOBI FORTUNE Happy Sunday to You, my one and only Sweetheart, Hope Service today was awesome.
Before proceeding, I plead that you unblock all my phone lines as well as my Facebook account so we can get talking. The kids and I could not not make it to Church today as two of them are taking injections having been ill for the past two days of Malaria.
They had earlier taken tablets but relapsed after one week that led the medics to suggest injection. And, bless God, they’re fast recuperating. Not to make this document wordy, My Sweetheart, may I use this public medium to sincerely and most heartily tender my unreserved apologies to you for all my offences against you.
I am, indeed, truly sorry for hurting your feelings and misunderstanding you grossly to the point where you decided to quit. Since your departure, my Sweetheart, my life has never remained the same. The kids too have suffered so much, emotionally.
I am now a changed person and have evolved with the right levels of vulnerability to accomodate your natural weaknesses unlike before. I deeply regret how our marriage degenerated to this level all because of our divergent views to issues in a few cases.
But those few cases of our disagreement regrettably became so magnified, and gradually eroded the joy of conjugality vis-a-vis what an ideal marriage should be as at the time you left on April 24, 2022. Today being November 24, 2024 makes it 2 years and 7 months that I have lived like a widower whilst you are alive, and the kids been treated by their peers and strangers sometimes as motherless children.
I have often shed secret tears and sometimes at the office. I am pained, devastated and broken. You have won in this debate, my LOVE. No more arguments, my Sweetheart. Please, it is high time you are welcomed back gloriously as a Queen you truly are. Please forgive whatever that ever happened which pushed you to where you are today.
Put all the blames on me, like Christ who asks all believers to cast all their burdens on Him, and watch me thrash them in the dustbin of history. Our tomorrow shall be greater going forward, my Sweetheart. Let us therefore bury the hatchet today and begin the process of our re-union.
I am persuaded that the good Lord will touch your heart to return and the kids and I shall greatly rejoice. Once again, my Sweetheart, I am truly very SORRY. I Love You forevermore!
Concerned Nigerians and bloggers, kindly help me get this letter across to her. With all the Love from Chimamanda, Chiamaka, Kaitonna, Chikaima and myself your loving Crown.
Yours forever Crown and hubby, CSC ANTHONY OKECHUKWU ECHEBIRI.”
