Orji Uzor Kalu Reveals Plan To Buy 35% Stake At Arsenal



Orji Uzor Kalu, the Nigerian senator and former governor of the state of Abia, has announced plans to buy a 35% stake in the iconic football team, Arsenal.


In a post on his official Facebook page, the new senator representing Abia North in the Nigerian National Assembly made this known.


Enyimba of Aba won the Nigeria Professional Football League five times (2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2007) when he was the governor of the state of Abia between 1999 and 2007. The local club was also the first Nigerian side to win the 2003 and 2004 CAF Champions League back to back and the 2004 and 2005 CAF Super Cup back to back.


The 60-year-old politician said that he is seeking to ensure that the Gunners win the Champions League and the Premier League back-to-back as Enyimba did by buying a share in the club.

He Wrote:


"Our success with Enyimba football club between 2000-2007 has continuously increased my passion for football. As the pillar of sports in Africa, I am considering an investment in football and I will buy a 35 percent stake in Arsenal FC.


Our target is to lift the Champions League and Premier League back to back as we did with Enyimba.


#OUK"

The former governor, meanwhile, is not the first Nigerian to have publicly expressed an interest in purchasing a club in the premier league.


The richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote, who is a die-hard Gunners fan, has previously announced his intentions to buy Arsenal Football Club in 2021.
