Enyimba captain, Ojo Olorunleke says draw at Niger Tornadoes is a morale booster

Enyimba captain Ojo Olorunleke says the one point his side got against Niger Tornadoes in their Nigeria Premier League game against Niger Tornadoes will boost the Aba side’s morale after their exit in the inaugral African Football League.

The People’s Elephant lost 4-0 on agregate to Wydad Casablanca to crash out of the competition and Ojo believes the team can now build on the point gained against Niger Tornadoes.

Speaking after the match, the Super Eagles goalkeeper expressed satisfaction with the result, adding it will boost the confidence and morale of the team going forward.

‘It’s a very good feeling,’ the former Sunshine Stars and Abia Warriors shotstopper said of how he felt after the draw. ‘I think it’s very necessary, we really needed it. Thank God for the effort everybody put in, and at the end of the day we were able to, at least, get a point.

‘Our target before the match was actually to grab the three points, but we thank God for this one point. At least, it will go a long way in refreshing the team spirit as we continue the push.

‘There is hope now that we can still do it despite all the challenges we’ve had.

‘So, I’m happy, I’m happy.

Let’s just continue that way,’ he told the club’s official website.
