Enyeama, Emenike land in Nigeria for Yobo testimonial

The duo of Vincent Enyeama and Emmanuel Emenike have arrived Nigeria for the Joseph Yobo slated for the 27th in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

According to fcnaija.com, the duo – both retired from international football – are presently in
the country as they try to relax after a long season, as well as
getting set for the testimonial match, which will be played in honour of
Yobo.

Both Enyeama and Yobo are close friends with the former Super Eagles
captain. Yobo forged good relationship when they both played for the
Super Eagles, with the former Everton defender playing Enyeama’s best
man at his wedding in 2006.

Yobo, 35, also became close friends with Emenike, when both men
played in Turkey, and the relationship blossomed when Emenike began
playing for the Super Eagles.

Meanwhile, several other international football stars are also
expected, with Chelsea captain John Terry and former African footballers
of the year, Samuel Eto’o and Didier Drogba.

Also expected are current Super Eagles stars John Obi Mikel and Ahmed Musa, as well as former Everton manager, David Moyes.
