Kun Khalifat FC goalkeeper Chijioke Ejiogu has asked fans to come out in large numbers for their important match against Wikki Tourists. The game will take place at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri on Sunday, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.

βWe call our supporters the 12th man because they have a huge impact on us,β Ejiogu said. βWhen they sing they make it very uncomfortable for oppositions to play against us. We appreciate their love and gesture. It is very important for us to give them a good game.β
