The Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has expressed his deep sympathies to the Super Eagles captain and Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas player, Wilfred Ndidi, following the death of his father, Sunday Ndidi, in a tragic road accident that occurred on Tuesday in Umunede, close to Agbor, Delta State.
In a statement released on Wednesday by the media aide to the President, Bayo Onanuga, he consoled the family and described Sunday’s death as an irreparable loss.
He prayed that God would comfort the family of the deceased and grant his soul eternal rest.
“I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of Sunday Ndidi. I share in the grief of his family, friends, and associates, particularly Wilfred Ndidi, who shared a strong bond with his father as a mentor and guide in his remarkable career as an exceptional footballer.
“There is no doubt that Sunday’s modest beginnings and honesty greatly impacted those who looked up to him for inspiration,” he said.
