Following the news of her sudden passing, many Nigerians flooded Rotimi Salami’s social media pages, expressing concern over his emotional state and offering words of comfort.
In a deeply emotional Instagram post that has since gone viral, the actor pleaded with the public not to console him, admitting that he is still struggling to come to terms with the loss.
“Please, when you see me, don’t try to console me. Because I will break down. I still can’t say farewell, Shuga Boo. All is not well at the moment,” Salami wrote.
He revealed that days after her death, the pain remains overwhelming, describing the experience as one marked by uncontrollable grief.
“72 hours of endless tears still can’t bring back my Shuga Boo. But for the sake of our family, friends and fans who showed up in prayers, calls and posts, and most especially for my children who will draw strength from me as we learn to move on without our Allwell Ademola, I promise to stand strong,” he said.
The actor also expressed gratitude to those who reached out to him during the difficult period, noting that while he appreciates the outpouring of love, he currently lacks the strength to respond.
“To everyone who has genuinely reached out to me with love and concern for my state of mind and wellbeing through messages, calls and voice notes, I see all. I’m just too weak to read, listen, respond or even find the words to express how I really feel right now,” Salami added.
