Vincent Enyeama Shuns Bukola Saraki On His Effort To Lure Him Back To The Team

The clamour by soccer loving Nigerians for the return of former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama to the team may have hit a dead end as the Lille of France goal tender is reported to have snubbed even the efforts of the hierarchy of the National Assembly to lure him back.

Recall that Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr had revealed his intention to talk Enyeama into returning to the national team, especially since the goalkeeper crisis occasioned by the illness of goalkeeper Carl Ikeme. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sports, Senator Obinna Ogba who revealed this in a chat with journalists yesterday in Abuja regretted how Enyeama shunned his and the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, while making efforts to plead with him to return to the national team.

When it is obvious that you are still in the game, your mates are still in the team, why must you snub calls for you to be part of that team”? The former first vice president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), advised Nigerian players to always remember that no matter their position today, it was the country that first gave them the opportunity to showcase their talents to the world.
