"It is our responsibility to provide you with as much assistance as possible. We can never erase the loss of this very brilliant man, but there it is. "At the end of the day, no matter the circumstances, the Almighty will call each of us one by one, and perhaps it was his [Christian Atsu] destiny that he is called in this tragic way," President Akufo-Addo said."The Ghanaian people must express their appreciation for the work that he did for our nation and the contribution he made to the development of the game and to the development of sports in general. "So, I have asked the chief of staff, who is unfortunately outside Accra today, to ensure that we organize a state-assisted funeral for Christian Atsu, depending on the date that you, the members of the family, and the GFA will select," Akufo-Addo continued. President Akufo-Addo stated that the government will do everything in its power to ensure Christian Atsu has a dignified exit. He asked the family to work closely with his office in selecting a date for the funeral because he wanted to be present personally.
