Former Super Eagles Goalkeeper and Captain, Vincent Enyeama has urged Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to re-channel his proposed investment of 35 Percent shares in Arsenal Football Club of England to Nigerian Professional Football League Club Side, Enyimba International Football Club of Aba.
The former Lille Metropole Football Club of France, who played Enyimba FC, winning Two Domestic League and the CAF Champions League, wants the Senator representing Abia North Senatorial Constituency to invest in the Abia State Club.
Kalu had announced his intention to become a major shareholder of the Gunners and help provide the funds that would see the Londoners become Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
The former Abia State Governor was the governor when Enyimba International of Aba won back-to-back Nigeria Premier Football League and CAF Champions League titles earlier 2000s.
The billionaire is looking to repeat that incredible feat with Arsenal Football Club.
But Enyeama, arguably Nigeria’s greatest goalkeeper in history, wants Kalu to direct his attention to his State’s beloved club, Enyimba, and turn it into Nigeria’s first-ever mega club.
“Why not invest that money in Enyimba and turn it into a mega-club,” the former Enyimba stalwart wrote on Twitter.
“A club that will bring in a lot of sponsors and create job opportunities for the youths.
“Nigeria has no mega-club side that we can boast of.
“(But) what do I know?”
