President Muhammadu Buhari said the world will never forget the legendary footballer Pele, who died on Thursday, aged 82.

Buhari made the remark as he joined world leaders in expressing grief over the death of the Brazilian soccer legend, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pele.

The world’s greatest ever football player succumbed to death after suffering a debilitating bout of cancer.

He won three World Cups and scored over 1,281 goals, becoming the original football icon in a long career for which he was named the “Player of the Century” in the year 2000.

In a tribute to the football legend on behalf of all Nigerians, President Buhari said, “May he rest in peace. He led a good life and made a huge contribution to the development of global football in particular and world sport in general.

“He had an enormous generosity of spirit and humility despite his greatness as a footballer and sportsman.

“He also built bridges across nations, races and even religions. He was a UN Ambassador of goodwill. Pele is gone but the world will never forget him. RIP. “

Pelè is a legend not only to the lovers of the beautiful game but to all of humanity. He lived a life of impact both on and off the field. He was humble and generous to a fault. He will be sorely missed. May his soul rest in peace. -AA

Sure, the world will surely miss heroes and legends.

But the question here is, will the world ever miss or mourn any naija politician?

Rest in peace legend, I'm so sorry I didn't celebrate you when you were still alive.

Confused thing. Hundreds die under his watch daily, but it's Pele's death wey pain him pass

Buhari was busy killing innocent Nigerians when Pele came to play in Nigeria.

50 years later, Pele has fulfilled his destiny and gone to meet his maker while Buhari is still busy killing innocent Nigerians.

Peter Obi will probably put his campaign on hold and go to Brazil to personally deliver his condolences. Anywhere two or three people are gathered, no matter the reason trust Peter Obi to show up.
I don't blame him though, the Labour party is broke, any publicity is a good opportunity to remind people that he is still running.

Rip to the real goat that won 3 world cups without help from FIFA
