Lagos-based MFM FC net buster, Stephen
Odey, enmeshed in a transfer saga in Denmark,
has tendered an unreserved apology to the
management of the club after his botched
move to a Danish club.
The Nigeria Professional Football League
(NPFL) leading scorer with 14 goals returned to
Nigeria last weekend after the controversial trip
to Danish FC Midtjylland.
MFM management had declared the 19-year-old
Odey Absent Without Leave (AWOL) after the
player was missing in the team’s camp.
Odey later claimed that he was tricked to
Denmark, adding that he was only invited for a
facility tour with FC Midtjylland, Denmark until
another move was introduced to him.
Speaking on the issue Odey said that he
regretted the botched move and that he would
do everything in his power to justify the
confident reposed on him by the management
of MFM.
“I am sorry for the botched move, and I have
tendered an apology to the management for
the repulsive action. What is left for me is to
justify the confidence reposed on me.
“Right now, I need to remain focused because
many things have happened in the past.
“I want to plead and apologise for everything
that has happened as I’m now looking forward
to the Super Eagles assignment.
“For me to claim a permanent shirt in the team,
well I think I need to do more of what I
normally do before on the field of play and
outside the field of play,’’ the striker said.
Odey said that he hopes to justify his inclusion
in the MFM team and the call up to the
national team, adding that he would play to
the instructions from the bench.
“I need to play to the coaches’ instructions and
by so doing; I believe I will be a regular in the
team.
“I’m very happy with the national team call up,
it’s a dream come true and I want to thank the
coaching crew of our team led by Fidelis
Ilechukwu and the entire team.
“I also want to thank the management as well
and our Father in the Lord Dr Daniel Olukoya,
who has really tried a lot for me personally with
prayers and everything.
“I’m very excited with the national team
invitation. It’s every player’s dream to play for
the Super Eagles and to represent his country;
and for me, this is a dream come true,’’ he
said.
