  A member of the organizing committee told The Guardian yesterday that the likes of Peter Rufai, Taribo West, Dan Amokachi, Mobil Okparaku, Ifeanyi Udeze and Uche Okechukwu have confirmed their readiness for the match.

  Also, the likes of Garba Lawal, Emmanuel Amuneke, Austin Okocha, Kingsley Obiekwu, Emeka Ezeugo, Alloy Agwu, Duke Udi, Kenneth Aigbe, Sam Sodje, Friday Christopher, Monday Aigbe, Victor Ikpeba, Peter Nieketen, Nduka Ugbade, Tosan Blackson, Wahab Haruna, Muobosa Bordericks, Sam Okpodu, Humphrey Jebba, Edema Fuludu, Lucky Sunday, Cole Joseph and Tijani Babangida have indicated their readiness to be on ground for the game.

  The LOC noted yesterday that Senator Okowa is a ‘complete sports loving personality’ and there was need for the ex-internationals to join in the campaign to make him governor in the fast approaching general election.
