Nigerian media personality Roby Ekpo has issued a heartfelt public apology for breaking down in tears while discussing the painful end of his 11-year marriage to ex-wife Mayowa Lambe. In a statement shared on social media, Roby thanked fans for their overwhelming support and explained that his emotional outburst stemmed from deep love rather than weakness.
Roby opened with gratitude.
“Hello people, thank you for all the support and kind words. The DMS, the emails and calls. Love you all.”
He then addressed the criticism directly:
“My heart feels lighter and free. For those who my tears offended, I am sorry. Pain leaves the body in many forms. It was my love. I only know how to love deeply. That’s the Roby way.”
The media personality made it clear he is now turning the page.
“From this point, it’s my work, my career and my undying passion to be good to myself and be softer with myself. Man must see life, but again man must grow with lessons. I am on a journey!”
He confirmed that legal matters with his ex-wife remain ongoing, stating,
“Every other matter is being handled by my lawyers. Thank you and God bless us all.”
The apology follows weeks of intense public drama surrounding the couple’s split. Mayowa Lambe recently issued a cease-and-desist notice to Roby, demanding an apology and N100 million in damages over allegations he made during a podcast appearance.
