Two prominent Nigerians, the former Governor of Bayelsa State and present Minister of State for Petroleum, Mr. Timipre Marlin Sylva and the Chairman of Katsina State Football Association, Alhaji Aminu Balele Kurfi were in celebratory mood on Sunday minutes after Chelsea football club won their second UEFA Champions League title.

In an all English finals, former champions Chelsea stunned Manchester City 1-0 at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto to win their second trophy.

Kai Havertz, one of the expensive additions from last Summer, scored the decisive goal just before half-time to inflict a third consecutive defeat on Pep Guardiola’s City.

Moments after the match, the former governor tweeted “I supported Chelsea FC for UCL trophy, and it came at no regrets. Congrats Blues.”

Kurfi who watched proceedings in Abuja along with Sylva said he created time to watch the match with the former Bayelsa State governor to support and celebrate with him after the match.

“I had to go and support him because he is an avid fan of Chelsea. I am also happy that in the end, he had cause to celebrate. Not many people are aware that His Excellency Timipre Sylva is passionate about sports, especially football.

“On my part, as the Chairman of Katsina State Football Association, I am a father to all supporters of the different clubs in my state.

“I was with Chelsea from where I was loaned to Katsina United. From United, I was loaned to Kurfi Tigers FC and at the moment, I am for every club,” said Kurfi on a lighter mood.
