Yobo,
in whose honour the game is being played, said instead of the usual ceremonial
kickoff, there will be a ceremonial penalty, to be taken by the governor
against former Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama
"Governor
Wike is a man of unique qualities, so it is only right that we give him the
distinction of opening this special game in a unique fashion," the former
Nigeria captain said.
"Although
he is great goalkeeper and a great penalty saver, I don't think that Enyeama
can stop that penalty."
A
host of international stars and former Nigeria players will be in Port Harcourt
for the match, which follows last weekend's international golf tournament and
Yobo says it is a credit to the Wike administration that the state is hosting
major events without any incidents
"High
profile events and people are coming to Rivers State and it is a credit to the
governor that all these events are happening in peaceful circumstances."
Kickoff
for the game is at 4PM and it is live on SuperSport 3HD and SuperSport 9.
