Former Nigeria’s international football players on Saturday visited APC National leader Bola Tinubu at his residence in Ikoyi Lagos to congratulate him on his 70th birthday which comes up on March 29.
The ex-Super Eagles players that visited are Peter Rufai, Ike Shorunmu, Dosu Joseph, JJ Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu, Taribo West, Uche Okechukwu, Obafemi Martins, Tijani Babangida, Victor Ikpeba and Mutiu Adepoju.
While speaking, Kanu Nwankwo who instituted the Kanu Heart Foundation disclosed that the first seed money for that initiative was donated by Tinubu in 2002.
“Without that money, there wouldn’t have been Kanu Foundation to perform the heart surgeries that have saved many lives,” he said.
Pastor Taribo West who lead the prayer prayed that Nigeria be blessed with more kind hearted people like Tinubu while wishing him well in the presidential race.
