Adeyinka Adeboye, the Special Assistant on Grassroots Sport to the Minister of Sports Development, John Enoh, has expressed his heartfelt condolences to the family of late Hon. Ekene Adams, describing him as a true friend.

The former SSA to Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the death of Adams came to him as a rude shock. “With a broken heart and severe pain of the soul, words are insufficient to describe my feelings at this rude and ill-timed sting of the death that took Hon. Ekene Abubakar away at his very prime,” he said.

“A remarkable soul who touched our lives deeply with his compassion and strength. His legacy of love and friendship will continue to linger and inspire us.

“Though he’s no longer with us, his spirit will forever remain a cherished part of my life. My personal encounters with you as a friend and brother date far back.
