“I must commend the excellent role of Skipper John Mikel Obi for proving his mettle as a world class professional player. As the captain of the team, he did a brilliant work in building confidence in his team, that despite the painful Semi-Final loss to the Germans, went on to beat Honduras to clinch the bronze medal and put Nigeria on the medals table,” Obuah said.

Bro. Obuah said appreciation should go also to the sports-loving Governor of Rivers State, Chief (Barr) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, whose support and encouragement kick-started the victory run of the Olympic football team.

The Go-Round FC boss recalled that the Dream Team VI started their journey to Brazil in Port Harcourt, where they defeated their Congolese counterpart 2-1 in their last qualifying match, adding that the Governor also prayed for the team’s success at the Olympics before their departure in Port Harcourt.

Bro. Obuah urged youths of Rivers State to draw inspiration from the victory of the Olympic Team and to strive to greater heights.
