Belgium and that “Kate was the god-mother to my first daughter. She was a
lovely mother, wife and sister and we are going to miss her”.
Godwin Ezine, who is former
falcons coach said that “this period is for sober reflection. You can imagine
staying together for many years and a separation now has come. I sympathize
with Keshi and I pray that God Almighty gives him the strength and courage with
his family to stand the test of time. It is very sad for all of us but we
cannot question God”.
On his part Keshi described
his late wife a unique woman. “A wife that every man would love to have.
I am honoured that people
took out of their busy time to come out and give their last respect to my wife.
Most of them have been with my wife, they knew her and probably that’s why they
are here. I thank them and every other person, the press, and all Nigerians who
were in prayers with my family. I am grateful”.
