Nigerian international footballer, Mr. John Mikel Obi has expressed gratitude to
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for his assistance during the kidnap of his
father, Mr. Michael Obi, early this month.
Speaking to the President at State House, Mikel said his “entire family
appreciate your help to us during this difficult time”, adding that his father was
recovering from the mainly psychological and physical injuries he suffered.
He said he was encouraged to put in his best for the national team in their
forthcoming national assignments, particularly the African Nations’ Cup qualifier
in Madagascar, adding that the Super Eagles were ready for the encounter.
Responding, President Jonathan described the kidnap of Mr. Michael Obi as
“unfortunate and sad”, but said government would continue doing all possible to
guarantee safety of all citizens and non-citizens resident in Nigeria.
