Former Heartland striker Ishaya Jatau has predicted a narrow win for the Naze Millionaires in the Oriental derby against Abia Warriors. Heartland will lock horns with Abia Warriors in a matchday 10 fixture at the Umuahia Township Stadium on Sunday.
Jatau urged the supporters to rally round head coach Emmanuel Amuneke for the team to achieve success. “Emmanuel Amuneke is a thorough professional, Heartland are lucky to have him. I have watched his training and what he is building,” Jatau told Heartland Media. “All the fans need is patience and total support for the team.
With what I have seen, Heartland will beat Abia Warriors by a slim margin. “In my days the fans were so good. They had a song for me and most times when they sing it , I will score after three or four minutes. They are so important to the success of our team. “So I am begging that they support this team. Support Amuneke to lift this team.
