Father’s Day: Tega Dominic mourns late father

A former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tega Dominic, is mourning her late father, Senator Bassey Ekpenyong, as the world marks Father’s Day.

Tega, sharing a video of her father on Instagram, stated that his death shook her entire life.

She noted that although Father’s Day would have been billings day, she would choose billings over her father not being here.

She wrote “I decided to leave the sound on so I can feel and hear your voice once more.

“Your passing shook my entire life and changed my entire perception about life. I couldn’t believe it happened.

“I miss you so much, I know you would have disowned me one million times by now and still loved me one million times more because you know where I carry the coconut head from.

“Although this Father’s Day would’ve been billings day but right now, I’ll choose billings over you not being here.”

Tega added “Jamjam misses you. I remember a few minutes before your passing, Jamjam said, ‘I want to stay with gianpa’.

“Maybe he knew you were going to leave us. We love you and miss you so much.

“Happy Father’s Day, Senator (Rev) Dominic Bassey Ekpenyong. Keep resting in peace. My no-nonsense man.”
