“The passing of Mrs. Chukwueze, the mother of one of our bright football stars, is deeply saddening,” the President said. “I mourn with the family and pray that God grants them strength during this trying time.
”The President encouraged the Chukwueze family to take solace in the memories and legacy of their late matriarch, while praying for the repose of her soul.
