Christian Chukwu, former Super
Eagles coach, says he lack words to use in thanking Femi Otedola, billionaire
businessman, for footing his medical bill.
Through the assistance of
Otedola, Chukwu, who was down with prostrate cancer, underwent a surgery at
Wellington Hospital in London.
Otedola had issued him a cheque
of $50,000 ahead of the medical trip.
When he visited the billionaire
upon his return to the country, Chukwu said after God, Otedola is the next
person in his life.
“Otedola has made me, I can play
football again. If you saw me before I left for London, you won’t believe I’ll
be here talking to you. I think I won’t be making a mistake if I say after God,
it’s Otedola in my life,” he said.
“I had many complications and I
couldn’t walk. When I heard Otedola brought out money for my treatment, I
marvelled because in my circle, we didn’t know him before then. We have people
with us but maybe they forgot or it’s not in their character (to help). I don’t
know how to thank Otedola enough, God bless him.”
Lilian, Chukwu’s wife, who was
with him, said God used Otedola to bring her husband back to life.
Earlier, Otedola had said he was
glad to have been of help to the sportsman, saying assisting people is his way
of life.
He said while some of his friends
could spend N50 million on champagne, he would rather spend money on people.
