Speaking during the all-white memorial service held in Lagos on Wednesday, June 10, the family member recalled how her family became convinced that Ekubo was the right man for their sister from the moment he formally sought her hand in marriage.
According to her, the late Nollywood star was an intentional and committed partner whose actions consistently reflected his love and care for his wife and family.
"When Ikenna came forth, we knew he was the one," she said, referring to the actor by his first name.
"If you want to experience love, you need to see Ikenna and Anwuli."
She explained that the family's confidence in Alexx Ekubo grew as they observed the way he treated both his relatives and those around him, adding that their mother felt comfortable entrusting her daughter to him because of his character.
The tribute painted a picture of a man whose definition of family extended beyond blood relations to include friends, colleagues and members of his wider community.
Reflecting on his life, the sister-in-law said Ekubo fulfilled his purpose despite his relatively short time on earth, describing him as a passionate follower of Jesus who lived with intention and left a meaningful legacy behind.
"He came and fulfilled his mission," she said. "Yes, it was short, but he returned empty."
