President Bola Tinubu has described the late Sebastian Brodericks-Imasuen, former Golden Eaglets coach, as a true Nigerian hero.
Tinubu, through a condolence message by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, said he received the news of the passing of one of Nigeria’s finest football coaches with a heavy heart.
DAILY POST recalls that the late footballer-turned-coach led Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets to victory at the inaugural FIFA U-16 World Championship in China in 1985.
According to Tinubu, he brought hope and inspired national pride by his industry, devotion, and diligence on and off the pitch.
The statement further adds that President Tinubu sympathizes with the Imasuen family, the football community, the government of Edo State, and all those who mourn this agonizing loss while praying for the repose of the soul of the dearly departed.
