The Speaker of The House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu
Dogara, has sent a passionate appeal to the national Under
Dogara, who was speaking against the backdrop of complaints
of Team’s Head Coach, Samson Yebowei Siaisia, that the players of the team have
refused to train and may boycott the tie due to unpaid allowances and wages
said the Dream Team should take patriotism as a fulcrum of their campaign, as
he will personally do everything within his powers to intervene in the matter.
He said the team with the likes of John Mikel Obi, Yakubu
Umar, Oghenekaro Etebor and William Troost-Ekong has a very bright chance of
repeating the feat of the Atlanta ’96 Dream Team led by the legendary Nwankwo
Kanu and the team should be encouraged by all Nigerians.
“We will do all we can to ensure that all entitlements due
to the team are paid, as we are already talking to relevant government agencies”,
Dogara declared.
He noted that football being the major unifying factor in the
country should be maximized by all for Nigeria’s continued joy and unity.
“We
will stop at nothing to ensure that we get the team to excel in Brazil and for
Nigeria to recreate the watershed of Atlanta ’96.”
