Keshi was a great patriot – Jonathan

Former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
under whom former Super Eagles skipper and
manager won the 2013 Nations Cup for Nigeria,
has described the late football star as an
inspirational figure, great patriot and worthy
ambassador for Nigeria.

Jonathan who stated this in a tribute to the
football icon also described Keshi as a dedicated
and inspirational sportsman who led his nation to
win the prestigious continental football trophy at
great moments, both as captain and coach.

The statement signed by Ikechukwu Eze, the
former President’s media adviser said further:

“Keshi was driven by a high sense of patriotism
and dedication which motivated him to always ply
his craft from the front, leading his nation to win
the prestigious continental football trophy at
pivotal moments, both as captain and coach.

I still keep a personal recollection of the time I
received the 2013 Nation’s Cup from victorious
Keshi and his team on behalf of all Nigerians. It
was a moment of pride and strength for the
entire country.

Keshi was, in deed, a trail blazer who brought
glory and honour to his country, nurtured the
beautiful game of football to its full potentials in
Nigeria, and mentored many professionals to
become national and international idols.”
