In his first words as an official player of Shooting Stars, Okachi expressed his desire to help the team to secure a continental ticket as well as assuring fans of the best.
“Honestly, I just want a continental ticket for the team as that’s my priority right now and not my self. The fans should expect the best from us because whenever we’re on the pitch we’ll try to give our best, put smiles on the faces of our fans and it’s going to be a good season,” Okachi told Sports247.
In what was his first preseason with a Nigerian club in Nigeria, Okachi was happy with the preparations and stated the team was ready to go.
