Speaking with journalists in Asaba, the soft-spoken football enthusiast was optimistic about the chances of the team at the continental championship.

“I am particularly impressed by the performance of the boys in the friendly match against the Pharaohs of Egypt,” he noted.
” After we scored the only goal, which was also one of the fastest ever scored by a Super Eagles player. The Egyptians came hard on our boys and gave us a really good game which also brought out the best in our boys.
“And with the quality of the young players like Paul Onuachu, Victor Osinmeh, Onyekuru, Chukwueze and others coming into the team, as well as, adequate preparations and encouragement for the team, I think we can perform creditably well and even win the cup,” he enthused confidently.
” Let me also tell you that we’ve begun our mobilization towards ensuring that our members, both home and diaspora storm Egypt in large numbers to support and encourage our boys to ultimate victory,” he added.
