From Pitch to Politics: Ekene Adams’ Inspiring Journey Cut Short.

The sudden death of Ekene Adams, chairman of the House Committee on Sports and former footballer and football administrator, has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian sports community. Adams, who was just 39 years old, was a passionate advocate for sports development and a dedicated public servant.

Until his demise, he was the House committee chairman on Sports. As a member of the House of Representatives, he represented Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency of Kaduna state under the umbrella of the Labour Party.

As a former footballer and club administrator, Adams knew the power of sports to transform lives. He founded Kada City FC, a Nigerian football club, to provide opportunities for young players in Kaduna state. His vision and leadership inspired countless young athletes, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.

Adams’ life was a testament to his belief in unity and diversity. Born to an Igbo mother and married to a Yoruba wife, he embodied the spirit of national unity and harmony.

Adams’ passing is not just a loss for the sports community, but also for the people of Kaduna state, who saw him as a dedicated and compassionate leader. His commitment to public service and sports development has left an indelible mark on the lives of many. As tributes pour in from across the country, one thing is clear: Ekene Adams may be gone, but his spirit and legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the dreams he inspired.
