Rivers State Commissioner of
Sports, Boma Iyaye has said that Rivers
United are ready to make Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) FC striker, Stephen Odey the
most expensive player in the Nigerian league if he is ready to join the club.
Iyaye made the declaration
after responding to the club’s fans protest over the team’s poor performance in
the ongoing Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Majority of the fans
believed that the club’s striking force are not doing their job very well and that
was why the team is not getting the desired results.
But the commissioner
challenged the fans to bring forward a good striker and he is ready to
authorise the payment.
“It is interesting
listening to you guys. I enjoyed every bit of the arguments and all that.
Please I need somebody to bring me any striker in the NPFL or Africa better
than what we have. Rivers United will pay any amount, inclusive of commission.
Don’t be in a hurry, the offer lasts for one week. Our criteria are current
form please,” Iyaye said via social media.
He added: “Sorry Odey I
will make him the most expensive player ever in the Nigerian league. This is an open cheque for all of us to
benefit.”
Odey is currently leading
the NPFL’s top scorer table with 13 goals.
