The news of his death came as a big shock to the NFF Board, Members of the Congress and other members of the Nigerian Football family.
“We can only pray fervently for the repose of his soul. We pray that God grants his immediate and extended family, the Ekiti State Football Association and the generality of the people of Ondo State, as well as the NFF Congress the fortitude to bear the loss,” Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi, NFF 1stVice President and Chairman of the South West Football Forum, said on Sunday.
