jubilate even as he target a win at the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja.
"It is
an emotional home coming; I have a lot of friends here in Lokoja. One thing for
sure is that I am now an ABSFC player and I must give my best if I am listed in
the first eleven tomorrow. If I am lucky to be on the score sheet tomorrow, I
will not jubilate, just to show respect for the Tornadoes fans" Omolayo

the game on Sunday against Akwa United.

is yet to recover from the illness he suffered at the weekend, Coach Makinwa
has confirmed.
