Kanu who said he was still in shock over the death of former Nigeria international, Rashidi Yekini. asked, “where was everybody when the man needed help?
Kanu continued ,"Yekini
was a dedicated player with a good heart; he was someone who wanted to
give back to the society. I think it’s always good to remember and
honour people when they are alive than wait until they die. Yekini
should have been celebrated when he was alive"Those
who gave everything in the service of their country must be accorded
the desired attention at all times. Yekini suffered and died like an
orphan. Today, everybody is lamenting over his death. Nobody cared for
him while he was alive and suffering,”
Kanu
said he was sad at the death of Yekini whom he said was their source
of inspiration as young players in the national team.“Although one does not pray for such things to happen. The question is, today it is Yekini, who’ll be next?
