According to him, marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman, as ordained by God.

He stated:

“Marriage is a sacred bond that brings divine blessings. It’s something I take seriously."

Why Ayuba embraced Christianity

Away from the controversy, Ayuba also shed light on his journey of faith, revealing why he converted from Islam to Christianity.

He explained that his decision was deeply personal and driven by a desire for a closer, more direct relationship with God.

The Fuji star added that he grew tired of intermediaries in his spiritual life.

He said;

“When I was a Muslim, I didn’t date around. I stayed with my wife. People often say Muslims must marry many wives, but I never saw that in the Qur’an. With the Bible, I can talk to God directly. When I read that Jesus died for me, that was enough. He did, and He’s a winner.”
