Enyeama urges governors to emulate Akpabio

In-form Super Eagles captain, Vincent En­yeama, has charged other State governors in Nigeria to emulate the landmark achievement of the Governor of Akwa- Ibom State, Goodswill Akpabio in putting a state of art edifice, Akwa-Ibom International Stadium.
Speaking to the media recently, the France-based Eagles skipper urged other state governors to invest more in sports facilities like the stadium, noting that it has a multiplier ef­fect on the economy of the country.
Asked his feelings about the stadium, he said: “If I want to say what is in my mind concerning that stadi­um, I know very well that I would be misunderstood because if I have my way, I will tell all the governors to try and build such an edi­fice in all the states of this country.”

“However, the truth is that the stadium is just too fine. Governor Akpabio tried and I doff my hat for him. He deserves commen­dation. How I wish every other state governor in Nigeria can emulate what he did because it will go a long way in changing the fortune of Nigerian sports,” he noted.
Asked if he still stands by his words over the Ebo­la disease, The Lille FC of France said: “I still stand by my opinion and nothing can change it. I am entitled to it and I expect everybody to respect mine. If I am CAF I will call off the Na­tions Cup but since I am not CAF, I don’t have an option than to represent my coun­try if we qualify.
“You don’t know what we pass through in our clubs after coming home to play for our countries. In some cases, they don’t want to relate with us or even have a hand shake with us because of fear of the Ebola diseases,” he said.
