Okoye emphasized that the club cannot afford to drop back to the lower division and urged the team to unite and elevate their game for the fans. Niger Tornadoes will host Kun Khalifat FC at Bako Kontagora Stadium, Minna, on Sunday.

He is the only one of the called-up dual nationals to have played minutes in the first two matches due to his proper administrative status. Two friendly matches against Uganda are scheduled in South Africa on October 2 and 5 to allow the coach to assess the players.
