Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has paid a condolence visit to the widow and family of former Nigerian international and coach Christian Chukwu in Enugu, assuring them that they were not alone.
Governor Mbah, who was out of the country attending the Commonwealth Trade and Investment Summit in London at the time of Chukwu’s death, also assured that the deceased would be immortalised.
Speaking on Wednesday evening, the Governor described the late footballer, popularly known as Chairman, as a legend, who served his country unreservedly and inspired millions of youths.
He said the Government and people of Enugu, his home State, were thoroughly devastated by the death.
Addressing newsmen after consoling the family and signing a condolence register, Mbah said: “We have come here to commiserate with the family and also to express our devastation. We are just as devastated by his death; and his death is not just a loss to the family alone, it is a loss to all of us, particularly the government and the people of Enugu State.
He also prayed for the peaceful repose of Chukwu’s soul and for fortitude on the part of his family to bear the irreparable loss.
