“I just received the news that between 9:00 and 10:00 this morning, ‘Chairman’ Christian Chukwu, MFR, my bosom friend and teammate, one of the greatest football players in Nigeria’s football history, former captain and coach of Nigeria’s national football team, has passed on. Babuje, Emmanuel Okala, MON, gave me the sad news a few minutes ago! May ‘Onyim’ find peace with Our Creator in Heaven and console his family.”

 

Chukwu, affectionately called “Chairman”, was a pillar of Nigerian football, renowned for his contributions both on and off the pitch. He captained the Green Eagles to their historic 1980 African Cup of Nations victory and later went on to coach the national team, including leading Nigeria to the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals.

 

Back in 2021, rumours of Chukwu’s death spread widely, prompting him to publicly refute the claims during his 70th birthday celebration.

 

The cause of his demise is yet to be made public.

 

May his soul rest in peace, Amen.
