The National Chairman of Nigeria Football Supporters Club (NFSC), Ambassador (Rev). Samuel Ikpea, has joined millions of football stakeholders and enthusiasts to commiserate with the members of the Nigeria football community on the death of Hon. Ekene Abubakar Adams.
Hon. Adams, who was the Chairman of House Of Representatives’ Committee On Youth and Sports, passed on Tuesday, July 16th, 2024, a protracted illness.
In the message of condolence, Ikpea, expressed his sadness and grief on the passing of Hon. Adams, which he remarked happened at a period of regeneration of sports in Nigeria.
The boss of NFSC, renowned as Nigeria and Africa’s foremost football fans group, recalled the brief, but momentous achievements and feats of Adams, during his time as General Manager of Remo Stars football club, and also, as President of Kada Stars football club, Kaduna.
“The news of the death of Hon. Adams came to us as a rude and unexpected shock, that would take some time to go away from our hearts,” Ikpea said.
“In his brief sojourn on this earth and particularly, in football and sports, Hon. Adams, certainly left indelible marks on the sands of time. We are proud of his life and times.
“We’re pained, but we must continue to thank God for everything. On behalf of all the members of NFSC, at home and in diaspora, I want to extend our heartfelt condolences to his families and associates.
“We pray that God strengthen the family emotionally and spiritually. May God also strengthen and bless all stakeholders in Nigeria sports,” Ikpea prayed.
