After a long period of silence, Alex Ekubo has spoken up about his engagement being called off.

Recall that about two weeks ago, the actor and his fiancée Fancy Acholonu called off their engagement and wedding plans.

Acholonu called off their engagement on August 26, saying that she made the best decision for herself and also believes it is important everyone lives in their truth.

Reacting to the development for the first time, Ekubo in a post shared on his Instagram page on Monday, September 6, said every successful person must fail at one point or the other in life.

He wrote:

“No successful person has ever been successful without failure.

“I want to specially thank my brothers, who made this trip an unforgettable one, I am forever indebted to you guys, I won’t forget this in a hurry.

“Failure is an integral part of success. Sometimes we have to fail to succeed.”
