Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK) Former Abia state governor and current Senate Chief Whip, has indicated interest in buying 35 percent stake in Arsenal football club of England. The Senator disclosed this yesterday through his social media platform. He expressed his feelings towards sports investment and highlighted his plans for the Premier League giants.
He wrote “Our success with Enyimba football club between 2000-2007 has continuously increased my passion for football. As the pillar of sports in Africa, I am considering an investment in football and I will buy 35 percent stake in Arsenal FC.
Our target is to lift the Champions League and Premier League back to back as we did with Enyimba.”
You would recall that Enyimba FC of Aba won the CAF champions league back to back during Orji Uzor Kalu administration, and that gave him the name ‘Pillar of sports’ in Africa.
We all know that Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has indicated interest several times to buy the same Arsenal football club, even though I can’t say why he didn’t push forward again. Odogwublog.com
I think these rich men in Nigeria should be concerned and focus more on the country’s sporting industry.
