A Heart Heavy with Love: Gaise Baba Mourns His Father
With a heart weighed down by a profound double loss, the Afro-Gospel community stands in solidarity with beloved singer Gaise Baba, who has announced the passing of his father, Prince Ezekiel Gbadebo Ibuoye. Just seven months and seven days after laying his mother to rest, the “No Turning Back” crooner took to Instagram to share the solemn news, posting a poignant photograph of himself and his late father. This heartbreaking timeline marks an unimaginable period of grief for the Ibuoye family, as the pillar of the home has now joined his wife in eternal rest. In this time of immense sorrow, we extend our most heartfelt condolences and wrap the entire family in prayers for comfort and strength that surpasses all understanding.
In his announcement, Gaise Baba did not simply share a date of passing, but a powerful testimony of unwavering faith. Captioning the post with the lyrics, “No guilt in life, no fear in death,” he revealed a spirit that, even amidst the sharp sting of loss, chooses to yield to God’s sovereignty. Speaking on behalf of the family as Akinade Gboluwaga Ibuoye, the singer’s declaration that “in all things, we give Him THANKS!” serves as a breathtaking witness to the very hope his music has always proclaimed. As fans and colleagues flood the comment section with their condolences, they are not just mourning with an artist, but standing with a son whose faith, though surely tested, remains firmly anchored in the God he so passionately serves.
