I offer my heartfelt condolences to Honourable Ekene’s family.”
NFF president Ibrahim Musa Gusau, in a letter he personally signed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, extolled the virtues of the late Hon. Adams, saying the deceased was “the leader of a very important committee in the House of Representatives and a man who was very much alive to his duties, tasks, assignments, obligations and responsibilities.

“As someone who has worked in football all his life, contributing his quota to the development of the game on the domestic front, Hon Ekene Abubakar Adams was well-known to the entire football fraternity, and it was no surprise that he was very keen on further development of the game of football in the country while he served as chairman of the House Committee on Youth and Sports Development,” Gusau said.

The FCT SWAN), in a statement issued by their secretary, Mr Samuel Ahmadu, it’s chairman, Mr Kelechi Onwudiwe, lamented the demise of the sports administrator cum politician, describing him as a friend of all, especially the sporting media.

“Hon. Adams maintained a close relationship with the media, recognizing the critical role they play in shaping public opinion and fostering transparency. His appointments of several colleagues from the FCT to his cabinet further demonstrated his commitment to inclusivity and the elevation of media professionals within the political sphere,” Onwudiwe said.

From serving and excelling as General Manager of Kada Stars Football Club of Kaduna to serving and accomplishing great things as General Manager of Remo Stars Football Club of Ikenne, to his glorious political sojourn that ended with Chairmanship of one of the most important committees in Nigeria’s parliament, the late Hon. Adams surely left his bold and indelible footprints in the sands of time.
