Hundreds of mourners gathered at the funeral of the late sports journalist, Christopher Opoku, were moved to tears as emotional tributes about the broadcaster were read by his wife, family, Citi FM<\/strong> and other associates.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The funeral, ongoing at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology \u00a0(KNUST) at Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, has attracted many, including those who have ever worked with Christopher Opoku.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n His widow, Vivian Opoku in her tribute said, “Friends began to question why I chose you over all others. Little did they know that you were the complete, total package meant for me. You were and still are my all in all and meant more to me than words would ever explain. God must have brought us together for a reason.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Though you were in the lime light you managed to stay humble and took great care of your home and family.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n His wife described him as a man who was humble despite\u00a0his fame and prominence in media. She said he was a wonderful husband and father to their 3 young daughters.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Staff of Citi FM<\/strong>, where he worked before travelling to the UK for medical treatment eulogized Christopher Opoku as a man who was ever willing to learn despite his rich experience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Even though he came in with a bag of experience he was very willing to learn and understand how things worked at the station. He was never too proud to ask his colleagues for any clarification and he was very ready to take up any task he was given.”<\/p>\n
