”Forgive, And Recall Ike Uche”, Gov. Orji Pleads with Keshi
- Updated: May 15, 2014
Abia state Governor, Theodore Orji, has appealed to Super Eagles chief coach Stephen Keshi, to extend a hand of fellowship to Ikechukwu Uche, who was recently omitted from the 30- man provisional list to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Orji, who spoke through his special adviser, Kunle Oyewumi, had applauded Keshi for changing his stance on the team skipper Joseph Yobo and stoke city striker, Osaze Odemwingie.
He however, pleaded with the former Mali coach to extend the same gesture to the Vilarreal striker.
His word: “As a passionate football fan, I appeal to my good friend Keshi, to have a change of mind and include Uche in his World Cup team.
“The boy should be forgiven since he is now remorseful,” Governor Orji said.
“Football is a competitive game; we should not allow personal interest to override national aspirations.
“I salute Keshi for bringing back Yobo and Osaze. I wish he could extend same to Uche.”
Uche missed out in the 2010 World Cup too, despite being the top scorer during the qualifiers, because of injury.
