‘He brought joy to millions of Nigerians’ — Tinubu reacts to Chukwu’s death

President Bola Tinubu has responded to the death of former Super Eagles coach Christian Chukwu.

It will be recalled that Chukwu passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 74.

The former footballer has left a void in the hearts of many football enthusiasts.

In his reaction, Tinubu, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, joined the football community in mourning Chukwu’s passing.

He stated that Chukwu brought joy to millions of Nigerians and stood as a pillar of the Nigerian brand.

“Christian Chukwu was more than a footballer and coach. He was a symbol of excellence and patriotism,” the statement partly read.

“He brought joy to millions, mentored a generation of footballers, and stood as a pillar of Nigerian brand and sportsmanship on and off the pitch.

“His legacies will continue to live on in the trophies he won, the lives he touched.”

Chukwu captained the Super Eagles to Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON glory on home soil in 1980.
