Chukwu’s Kinsmen Laud Ugwuanyi, Otedeola, Others

Christian Chukwu’s kinsmen from Obe Agbo Village, Obe Community, in Nkanu Local Government Area (LGA) of Enugu State, have expressed profound appreciation to prominent Nigerians, including Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, for their timely intervention to save the life of their son.
The community leaders, led by Chief Pat Agu, conveyed the community’s gratitude to Nigerians, when they visited the former Super Eagles’ coach in his Trans Ekulu residence in Enugu on Thursday.
They also expressed special appreciation to Chief Femi Otedeola and Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for their quick response to the clarion call to save Chukwu’s life.
Tidesports source reports that the delegation was full of joy to see that Chukwu, who has been down with an undisclosed ailment, was strong and stable.
Addressing newsmen at the end of their interaction with Chukwu, Agu said that “our people have continued to imagine what could have become of their son, if not for the quick intervention by these notable Nigerians.
“The people of Obe Village and the entire Obe community were in joyous mood when they heard that their son was responding to treatment.
“We appreciate Governor Ugwuanyi, Amaju Pinnick-led NFF and Otedeola for their quick intervention to save our son.
“We thank God for their assistance. God used them and other Nigerians, who have contributed in prayers and other means to restore the life of our prominent son,” Agu said.
He also thanked the South-East governors, especially Governor Willie Obiano, who, he said, had stood solidly behind Chukwu and other ex-Rangers players.
“We are not forgetting the US-based Anambra-born philanthropist, Mr Benson Ojindu, who has always been there for former Rangers players,” he said.
He said that Ojindu raised the alarm over Chukwu’s health challenge and alerted many Nigerians at home and diaspora through the social media.
Also, Chief Osita Ikem, the Igwe-designate for Obe Agbo community, said that the leaders came to rejoice with their son and to appreciate Ugwuanyi and other Nigerians “for their timely intervention.”
