OBADAKI Halilu has vowed to take his opportunity ‘with both hands’ at Nigeria Professional Football League outfit, El Kanemi Warriors whenever he is called upon by the team’s handler, Ladan Bosso.

Obadaki who spent six years at Kwara United before teaming up with the Warriors during the 2016/17 NPFL pre-season, can now feature in the Nigeria topflight after sorting out his clearance.

In a chat with SportingLife, the left-back said he is enjoying his stay in Maiduguri and now ready to help the team competes for titles this season.

“My papers have been sorted out and I’m eager to make my debut for this team. I will welcome that opportunity with both hands. Coach Bosso is the type of coach that gives opportunities to every player. He is more than a coach to me as he took me like a son while I see him like a father. He always try to put me on the right way.

“I join El Kanemi because I want to complete for trophy and history and tradition of the team shows they are competitor at the end of every season.

“Everything is well okay here, the fans are sport lovers, they always want the best from us and that is why we all always try to give our best. The weather is not different from that of Ilorin and that makes me to settle well here. In terms of security, Maiduguri for now has the best security all over the county,” he told SportingLife.

El-Kanemi will take on Enyimba in NPFL matchday 6 at the El-Kanemi Stadium this weekend and Obadaki is optimistic the team will bounce back from the 0-2 loss to Remo Stars in Sagamu in their last game.

“We are working hard and we hope Allah will crown our efforts with victory over Enyimba. Nowadays no game is easy game, I know it will be difficult but with God on our side, we are going to carry the day,” Obadaki said.
