Governor Uzodinma returns Coach Christian Obi as Technical Adviser of Heartland
In a meeting with the Commissioner of Sports Hon Emeka Okoronkwo
The Governor ordered the reinstatement of Christian Obi as Technical Adviser.
Coach Christian Obi was present with the wife who is a party Chieftain.
Coach Obi is from the Oru clan . The same clan with the Governor.
It remains to be seen how this will affect a team that’s struggling on the bottom of the log .
You will recall that the team failed to win a game under Christian Obi but his return few weeks before the introduction of new players to help the team is a very interesting puzzle.
Finally Coach Kennedy Boboye signed a contract that is actionable.
What becomes of a valid contract , the team who are already adapting to Boboye and his tactics.
It means that meritocracy has been sacrificed on the alter of Tribalism and Nepotism.
Heartland fans will have to deal with the rude shock.
What happens to the battle to save the club from the drop.
