“Air Peace is very happy to be associated with the team.
“The favour, which God granted Air Peace is now following the team, and this reflected in their victory against Liberia on Sept. 3.
“I want to urge the team to use the power of sports as a medium of unification of the country.
“Gentlemen, this is why I decided to come to the airport at this time of the night by 2 a.m. to address you,” he said.
Onyema urged the players to be at their best because Nigerians irrespective their ethnicity, clapped and yearned for victory against Liberia on Sept. 3. (NAN)
