The former president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Issa Hayatou, passed away, and President Bola Tinubu has expressed his sorrow.
Remember that on Thursday, Hayatou passed away at the age of 77.
Tinubu expressed his condolences to the Cameroonian Football Federation, the people of Cameroon, and the African football community in a statement provided by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale.
He emphasized the iconic football administrator’s contributions to the growth of the sport in Africa and beyond, calling his demise a great loss.
Hayatou has served as the acting President of FIFA, the global governing body of football, on one occasion.
Tinubu prayed for his family’s resilience during this trying time and for the deceased’s soul to rest in peace.
My sincere sympathy and condolences to his family on the loss of their father.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
