President Bola Tinubu has extended heartfelt condolences to Super Eagles Captain, Wilfred Ndidi, on the death of his father, Mr Sunday Ndidi.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Presidential Spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday in Abuja.
The Nigerian international footballer, who plays for Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas, lost his father in a road accident in Umunede, near Agbor, Delta State, on Tuesday.
Condoling with the Ndidi family, Mr Tinubu described the death as tragic and deeply saddening.
“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,” he said.
The President said that the late Sunday Ndidi’s modest beginnings and honesty left lasting impressions on those who knew him.
“There is no doubt that Sunday’s modest beginnings and honesty greatly impacted those who looked up to him for inspiration,” he said.
Mr Tinubu prayed that God Almighty would comfort the Ndidi family and grant eternal rest to the soul of the departed.
