Enyimba International goalkeeper, Ojo Olorunleke has revered his luck which has always been evident in his career over the years as he reminisces about title conquest with Finidi George’s team in a season where they tagged as underdogs.
The Aba-based team won their ninth NPFL title in the just concluded NPFL Championship Play-offs at the Mobolaji Johnson Onikan Arena following a 1-1 draw against Rivers United to beat Remo Stars to the gong by a goal margin.
Looking back at the moment, Olorunleke who was part of the Super Eagles 2024 AFCON qualifiers squad at the weekend couldn’t hold up his emotions in an exclusive interview with Sports247.ng.
“We thank God for the success, the title, how the league ended and I’m so proud of myself and I must commend the efforts of my colleagues for a job well done, Olorunleke said”
“I feel so good, you know my case is always different, I always prove a point in any team I play and Enyimba is no different. I just want to thank God for how far I have come, right from the beginning of the season and up to this moment.”
“I never expected the Super Eagles call-up but you know, I’m a very hardworking guy, I put in my best in every opportunity I have to play because I don’t know who is watching me.”
“We will keep doing our best, we want to have a good continental outing, give our all, and represent the country well,” Olorunleke assured.
Nigeria has now qualified for the 2024 AFCON games set to take place in Cote D’Ivoire and Ojo Olorunleke will be hoping to make Jose Peseiro’s final squad list.
