President Bola Tinubu has expressed his condolences to Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi following the passing of his father, Sunday Ndidi.
The elder Ndidi reportedly lost his life in a road accident on Tuesday in Umunede, near Agbor, Delta State.
In a statement released on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu described the incident as tragic and extended his sympathy to Ndidi and his family.
He also prayed that God Almighty would bring comfort to the Ndidi family and grant eternal rest to the departed soul.
“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.”
