Cross River State Governor, Senator Liyel Imoke, says he
believes that the Super Eagles will come out tops against Congo, despite the
short time the team had to prepare for the Morocco 2015 Nations Cup qualifier
in Calabar, the state capital.
Imoke spoke through Youth and Sports Commissioner, Hon
Patrick Ugbe, who also promised that the fans in Calabar will turn out enmasse
on Saturday to cheer the national team to victory. Ugbe, added that he was
happy with the quick response of the players to national call and was sure that
the team will excel.
Earlier, NFF Director of Technical, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme, who
has been pulling the strings here to ensure the comfortability of the national
team, said he was impressed by the showing of the players in the morning
training session. Dr Ikpeme, who defied the early morning downpour in Calabar
to join in the morning training session, said he will ensure that all that the
team needs for a victory against Congo are provided, in conjunction with the
Cross River state government.
“I am a son of the soil and we have had a very cordial
working relationship with the government and people of Cross River state. That
should ensure that we come out tops on Saturday because all of us in the team
and government are on the same page”.
