"It's a good one being named in the preliminary squad that will face Kenya on March 23. The manager has done his own part by considering me worthy of invitation. It's now left to me to grab the opportunity with both hands.
"I want to say I'll work extremely hard to justify my second sojourn in the senior national team, work hard for a shirt and work harder to ensure we have it easy against Kenya," said the former Divine Warriors' playmaker to supersport.com.
The former Nigerian Under-23 midfield maestro said the Eagles will definitely triumph over Kenya in the March 23 World Cup qualifier.
"Of course, you should expect a resounding victory against Kenya, the Afcon victory has become a sort of motivation for us to go all out for victory no matter how daunting the task may be.
