ASABA – Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has conveyed profound grief upon learning of the passing of Mr. Sunday Ndidi, father of Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi.
The elder Ndidi tragically lost his life in a fatal road accident in Umunede, in Ika North East Local Government Area of the state.
In an official condolence message disseminated by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, Governor Oborevwori characterized the death as an abrupt, distressing, and significant loss, impacting not merely the Ndidi family but also the Umunede community and the wider Ika Nation.
The Governor expressed his sincere sympathies to Wilfred Ndidi, the grieving family members, and the residents of Umunede, encouraging them to find comfort in the meaningful life and enduring legacy left by the deceased.
Reports indicate that Mr. Sunday Ndidi, a retired military officer, perished in a roadway collision on Tuesday. He was promptly transported to a medical facility in Agbor, where he was subsequently pronounced deceased.
This sorrowful event has attracted extensive commiseration, including from Wilfred Ndidi’s professional football club, Besiktas, which acknowledged the occurrence in a formal statement published on its official X platform (formerly Twitter).
Governor Oborevwori supplicated for divine strength to sustain the family through this irreplaceable loss and for eternal repose for the departed soul.
