Christian Chukwu: Atiku, Peter Obi, others react to death of former Super Eagles coach

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 general election, and Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the same election, have reacted to the death of former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu.

Chukwu, a former Nigerian defender, passed away at the age of 74 on Saturday morning, leaving a void in the hearts of many football supporters.

Reacting, Atiku, in a post on X, said Chukwu's absence will be profoundly felt.

Atiku wrote: “It is difficult to grasp that Chairman Christian Chukwu, MFR, has passed on. His name stands tall in the rich tapestry of Nigerian football. His absence will be profoundly felt.”

On his part, Obi expressed his sadness over Chukwu's death.

In a lengthy post on X, Obi said: “I am deeply saddened by the news of the passing to the greater glory of Christian Chukwu, one of Nigeria’s greatest football icons. Rest in Peace our True Heroes.”

Similarly, TV broadcaster Oseni Rufai wrote on X: “The legend is Gone Breaking News! My Chairman has passed on.”
