In his reaction, Vincent Enyeama who spent three years with Enyimba and had 100 caps - scoring 10 goals for the Aba based club, has advised the former governor to invest in the local club.
He wrote:
“Why not invest that money in Enyimba and turn it into a mega club. A club that will bring in a lot of sponsors and create job opportunities for the youth.
“Nigeria has no mega club side that we can boast of. What do I know? My mouth keeps putting me into trouble.”
