Coach Kennedy Boboye of Plateau United has confirmed he will play in the upcoming Victor Ezeji Testimonial in December.
Boboye a former player in the Nigerian league before moving on to acquire his coaching badges, says the story of Nigerian league cannot be told without mentioning Victor Ezeji. Boboye who played with Ezeji both at Sharks and Dolphins football clubs says with his contribution to the game in Nigeria, Ezeji deserves every honour that can be accorded him as he bows out from playing the game.
“He is someone who played and gave his best to the country, to the state and to the league in Nigeria as a whole. So honouring him at a time like this should be done in a big way. We are all happy that it is from a Port Harcourt boy. I am sure it is going to be a great one,” he remarked.
The Victor Ezeji Testimonial scheduled for December 17 will feature Team NPFL squaring up against Friends of Victor at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt.
It would be recalled that Coach of Enugu Rangers, Imama Amapakabo who also played alongside Ezeji at Sharks had some weeks ago confirmed his willingness to play in the testimonial.
Like Amapakabo, Boboye said it would also be an honour for him to be part of celebrating Ezeji and he would be in town for the event.
“Definitely, I will be coming to play alongside him on the final day of his active career. This is what we always pray for, that when we end up our career, we end it up in grand style. So I will be part of it,” he explained.
Boboye recently took the reins at Plateau United following a break after he parted ways with Abia Warriors in the NPFL.
