President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday expressed sadness and shock over the death of the former Coach of the Super Eagles, Amodu Shuaibu.
Shuaibu died in his sleep between Friday night and Saturday morning.
He has since been buried in his hometown, Okpella, Edo State.
President Buhari said losing another former Super Eagles Coach and Captain, Stephen Keshi, in the same week when Shuaibu died was one tragedy too many for Nigerian football.
The President, in a twitter message, lamented: “It is heartbreaking to lose two of the finest and most accomplished members of our football family at the same time.
“This is indeed a sad week for Nigerian football, and Nigerian sports in general.
“May the soul of Amodu Shuaibu rest in peace. Ameen.”
