Atiku mourns Ex super Eagles coach and player

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar
has joined Nigerians to eulogise the late
ex Super Eagles player and coach,
Stephen Keshi.
Atiku expressed shock at the news of his
death, describing it as the loss of a pacesetter
and a national hero.
The ex VP, in a statement signed by his
media aide, Mr Paul Ibe said “It saddens my
heart to learn of the stunning news of the
death of the golden boy of Nigerian football.
“His departure is more touching when one
recalls that Keshi also lost his loving wife of
33 years, Kate, to cancer late last year, thus
rendering their young children hapless
orphans.
“While praying for the repose of the soul of
this fallen hero, I would also beseech God
Almighty to grant fortitude and grace to the
mother, four children, family members and
friends that the deceased compatriot left
behind.”
Stephen Keshi died at the early hours of
Wednesday, June 8, 2016 in Benin City, Edo
State.
