After Nigeria’s defeat in the AFCON qualifier against South Africa, FC IfeanyiUbah striker, Godwin Obaje, expressed the belief that he has what it takes to change the fortunes of the national team in their subsequent international matches.
Obaje informed Super Eagles technical crew that he is in top shape ahead of the African Nations Championship qualifier in August.
In 2016, the poacher lit up the Nigeria Professional Football League with 18 goals to scoop the topflight’s top scorer award as his former team, Wikki Tourists finished third.
Obaje, who has scored nine goals and created four, stated that everyone playing in the domestic league is working hard to make the list.
“As regards the list of invited players to the Super Eagles camp for the preparation of the CHAN qualifier, I hope to be among the invited players,” Obaje said.
“As you can see, everyone is really working hard to make the list. It’s a thing of joy to play for the national team.
So, the expectation to make the list is obvious. But I must say that those that will make the list will deserve it because there are a lot of players in the league who have shown quality and consistency.
Nigerians should expect a good outing in the qualifiers and the tournament proper,” he said
