“We are clearly the underdogs going into the Aiteo Cup final against the season’s widely acclaimed best team, Akwa United.

“The tag ‘underdogs’ makes us happy as history of the Federation Cup is replete with underdogs coming out strongly to win the coveted trophy.

“We are ready to give Akwa United the toughest challenge of their lives in Sunday final.

“We are here to make ourselves, our family and our supporters happy by going all out to win the Cup title.

“Of course, as the last man in defence I hope to maintain a 100 percent clean sheet.
