Nollywood actress Judy Austin has joined her husband, Yul Edochie, in celebrating his father, Pete Edochi,e, as he turns 78 today.
Taking to her Instagram page, she described the veteran as the Lion of Africa, one of the biggest names in Africa and a living legend.
She prayed that God blesses him with long life, good health, unconditional love, peace, happiness, and everything good in life. Judy made him know how loved he was as she told him to keep living for them.
“Happy Fabulous Birthday to the Lion of Africa @peteedochie
One of the Biggest Names in Africa!!!
A Living Legend
May the Almighty Father Continue to bless you with a long life, good health, unconditional love, peace, happiness, and everything good in this life. Amen.
You’re Loved, Daddy.
Keep living for us Amen”.
Hours ago, Yul had sung the praises of his father, referring to him as one of Nigeria’s greatest icons and the biggest name in Nollywood. He expressed how much he loved his father and declared him his man for life.
During the heat of Yul Edochie’s marriage announcement with Judy, Pete had granted an interview revealing that he was never aware that Yul had taken a second wife. He praised May Edochie and indirectly called Judy a foreign and infested woman who came into his family to wreak havoc.
His sister-in-law, Rita Edochie, had also stated that he wasn’t in support of Yul and Judy’s marriage. She claimed that Pete once walked out of a movie production that Judy was in charge of and refunded her money.
Despite Pete’s non acknowledgement of her, Judy hasn’t ceased singing his praises. When he turned 76 in 2023, she penned a sweet tribute to him, describing him as the Lion of Africa and hailed him for being a legend with a heart of gold.
When Pete Edochie bagged two doctorate degrees last year, Judy hailed him for being the Lion of Africa. She noted how the legendary actor deserves the recognition and award and prayed for a long life and more blessings.
