 1980 AFCON Champion Charles Bassey Dies at 71 Charles Bassey, a member of Nigeria’s historic 1980 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad, has died at the age of 71 after a prolonged illness. 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. His passing brings the number of deceased members of the 1980 squad to nine.

 OPEN LETTER TO FIRST LADY FROM MR. PRESIDENT



Happy 63rd birthday to the love of my life, Oluremi. 


My trusted partner in every venture, and the one special person who has consistently filled my days with joy and laughter over 36 amazing years. 


Today is not only a day to mark another year of your purposeful life but a beautiful reminder of the journey we have embarked upon together. 


Through all these years, we have shared in the uncertainty of dangerous, but principled stands against tyranny. Many can not fully appreciate the sacrifices you made for us during that harrowing, dark era, but I do and always will.


We have experienced adventure, love, and laughter. We have celebrated victories, and we have wrestled down the monster of defeat, and we have done all in an inextricable bond.


Our bond has only grown stronger through thick and thin, and our love and commitment to each other has only deepened with time. 


Thank you for being the ever-present sunshine that brightens my darkest hours.


Your kindness, your wisdom, and your inner and outer beauty continue to amaze me more each and every day.


As we celebrate your birthday, I want you to know how profoundly grateful I am for your serene presence in my life.


I look forward to many more years filled with even greater laughter and love as we continue on this path together, which God Almighty had predestined for us.


May the Good Lord, whom you serve with all your heart, continue to bless you with good health and longevity. 


Happy birthday, Iyawo Mi!


Love always,

Bola
