Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has released a statement mourning
Stephen Keshi who died in the early hours of today June 8th. Keshi is
from Delta state. Read Governor Okowa's statement below
"On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I commiserate
with the family of the late Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, and the entire
football loving fans in Nigeria over the demise of the late Super Eagles
former Captain and Coach. The remarkable achievements recorded by the
Nigeria Super Eagles in 1994 and 2013 were unarguably due to his
indefatigable role as the Captain and Coach of the Super Eagles in those
glorious years culminating in the winning of the African Nations Cup.
Delta State and indeed Nigerians has lost a great
man whose contributions to the football world can best be described as
legendary. He will be sorely missed by all and sundry whose lives he
affected in several ways. I therefore urge all who mourn the demise of
Stephen Keshi to take solace in the fact that his was a life of great
accomplishments and service to humanity in which we give thanks to the
Almighty God for the indelible footprints of his achievements in the
sands of time."the statement read
