Bro. Obuah who is also the Sole Administrator of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) stated that the Real Madrid Football Academy would position Nigeria as a football power house that would join the league of the biggest exporters of top-rate footballers in Africa.
The sports administrator, who is also the immediate past Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, described Governor Wike as a pathfinder, visionary and beacon of hope, through which the dreams and aspirations of Rivers people are being fulfilled.
He praised the governor for his choice of partnering with the legendary Real Madrid FC of Spain, adding that “flesh and blood have not revealed it to you, but the Spirit of God Almighty”.
“You know there is a saying that a lion would always beget its kind. Establishing Real Madrid Football Academy, with the full blessings of the Spanish club, in Rivers State, is very significant. Real Madrid may not be physically domiciled in the State, but its soul and spirit is basically here with us, and that is a big plus for Rivers State and Nigeria”, he philosophized.
