President Bola Tinubu has extended his condolences to Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze following the death of his mother, Mrs. Sarah Chukwueze, who passed away on Thursday.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President expressed sympathy to the Chukwueze family, urging them to take solace in the cherished memory and enduring legacy of their late matriarch.
“The passing of Mrs. Chukwueze, the mother of one of our bright football stars, just a few days after the passing of Super Eagles’ Captain Wilfred Ndidi’s father, is deeply saddening. I mourn with them, and I am with them in prayers during this difficult time,” President Tinubu said.
The President also extended his sympathies to the wider family and friends of the deceased, praying that God Almighty grants her eternal rest.
Mrs. Sarah Chukwueze’s death comes as Nigerian football mourns consecutive losses within the national team, following the recent passing of Ndidi’s father.
