joined Rivers United.
“He will get a good
reception from fans of the club (Nasarawa United).
“We are not intimidated by
the prospect of facing Rivers United and will approach the game with the aim of
amassing all three points,” he said.

“The fans of Nasarawa
United showed me so much love and I will not celebrate if I score against
