Yero charges Eagles to feast on Elephants

Yero, who was accompanied by a retinue of officials including the Sports Commissioner, declared that he had intended to see the team at training but had to make a detour when he learnt that there would be no training in evening.
The governor said he was sure that with the caliber of players and technical crew in the national team, the Home-based Super Eagles will surely overrun the Elephants.
NFF General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu, who spoke earlier said the team was in Kaduna to recreate the winning ways of the national team after its last outing in the city against the Chipolopolo of Zambia ended 2-0 in 2011.
Head Coach Stephen Keshi who spoke through the team’s media Officer, Ben Alaiya said he was overawed by the presence of the governor and declared that at least 10 players who have had close affinity with the city of Kaduna are in the game against the Elephants of Cote D’ Ivoire. Team Captain, Chigozie Agbim, who introduced members of the squad promised the governor that the team will not disappoint in the crucial qualifier for the African Nations Championship, especially as the team has never before qualified for the competition.
