At the funeral which was attended by HE Nana Addo, Former President John Mahama, Vice President Dr Bawumia, among other dignitaries, many people wept as Christian Atsu’s wife was called to read a tribute to her late husband.
Marie-Claire Rupio, who has been married to the Ghanaian footballer for about 11 years, became uncomfortable after being called to read a tribute to the late footballer.
After approaching the pulpit, the mother of three became emotional and could not read as she cried during the test. In the video below, he has to forgive himself for the honor of reading for him.
Part of the tribute is: “You are always by my side. You are always full of life”You seem eternal. Your smile, your love, I see you in our child’s smile.”
Christian Atsu is survived by three children. Atsu was confirmed dead on Saturday, February 18, 2023, after his lifeless body was pulled from the rubble of an earthquake in Turkey.
