Former Green Eagles captain and one time Coach of Nigerian Super Eagles, Christian Chukwu has called on sports loving Nigerians to disregard the rumour making the rounds that he had been abandoned by the NFF and Government of Enugu state, sports247.ng reports.
In his words, 1980 nation’s cup winner told sports247.ng that he appreciates the the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation and the Government of Enugu state for their timely intervention. Chairman as fondly called said:
“I sincerely thank Nigerians for their concern on my health. By the grace of God I’ll be back on my feet. It, however, feels bad that people have created controversy over my health. It doesn’t feel good. I have not been abandoned.
The Enugu State Government has been helpful and I appreciate them. My friend, Benson Ejindu who lives in USA and who is patron of Ex Rangers players has been tremendous too. He directed that I be brought to this hospital where I am now.
He contacted them and moved me to this place. I did not tell anybody that I have been abandoned.
Ejindu did not also tell anybody that Enugu State Government has abandoned me. Nobody has said that. So, I don’t know where this controversy is coming from.”
