He passed away on Saturday in his hometown, Eket, Akwa Ibom State. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed his death in a statement released on Monday by its General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, describing the loss as part of a “day of double tragedy” following the earlier death of team captain Christian Chukwu. Bassey was part of the Green Eagles team that secured Nigeria’s first AFCON title with a 3-0 victory over Algeria at the National Stadium in Lagos on March 22, 1980. After retiring as a player, he transitioned into coaching and managed several clubs, including Calabar Rovers, Mobil Pegasus, BCC Lions, Flash Flamingoes, Akwa United, and Wikki Tourists.

Press Statement
“You Are Nigeria’s Problem”, PDP Replies APC Over Wike
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the All Progressives Congress (APC) is Nigeria’s major problem, noting that the ruling party has proven to be nothing but a despotic platform; a soulless mob and political virus that has no interest in the wellbeing of Nigerians.
The PDP berated the APC leadership over its unwarranted tirade against River state Governor Nyesom Wike’s unflawed comments on the overbearing conduct of APC leadership, particularly in trying to impose itself on the people of Edo state.
The PDP however notes that the outburst by the vindictive APC leadership, under Adams Oshiomhole, does not reflect the views and opinions of majority of APC governors and democratically minded leaders in the APC, who are completely averse to the unbridled impunity being exhibited by the national leadership of the party.
Our party invites Nigerians to note that such impunity, arrogance, egoism, recklessness and disdain for rules and order, which are symptomatic of crass incompetence and cluelessness, are at the root of the problems, which the APC, under the leadership of Adams Oshiomhole, has brought upon our nation.
It is on record that the contemporary political, security and economic situation in our country has never been as bad as being experienced under the current APC leadership, which has brought nothing but confusion, acrimony, failures and impunity, within the ruling party and its government, leading to the perilous situations in our nation today.
Our party stressed that Governor Wike’s position reflects that of most APC members, particularly in Edo state. Sadly, the Oshiomhole-led leadership has become so irredeemable in its arrogance that it cannot realize that it is standing alone, particularly, on all issues related to Edo state governorship election.
Majority of Nigerians are aware how Governor Wike and other PDP leaders across board, have been resisting the relentless ploy by the APC leadership to destroy our democracy, subjugate our citizens and appropriate their wishes and aspiration, especially during elections.
It is therefore not surprising that the APC leadership, having been exposed, would resort to hauling of invectives and tirades on Governor Wike and other democratically minded Nigerians.
Our party sternly cautions that it would not accept any such venting of frustration by the APC on any of our governors or members.
The PDP holds that the APC leadership should blame nobody but itself for its self-inflicted problems and come to terms with the fact that the train has already left the station.
