Samad Kadiri has challenged his Lobi Stars teammates to ‘turn up’ against Rivers United in their Federation Cup quarterfinal clash, as a tribute to former coach Solomon Ogbeide, who was buried on Thursday in Benin.
Ogbeide died after a brief illness in Mmakurdi last month, on the same day they faced Wikki Tourist in a top-flight encounter, and a grieving Pride of Benue beat the Giant Elephants 2-1.
Kadiri asserted they could properly remember him for good, if they are able to beat Rivers United on Friday and thus progress to the semifinal of the cup competition.
