MFM not superior to El-Kanemi, says Ilechukwu

MFM handler, Fidelis Ilechukwu has played down his side’s superiority to El Kanemi Warriors.

The NPFL debutants silenced the Borno side 3-1 in Sunday’s Nigeria topflight game with goals coming off the boots of Stephen Odey, Julius Emiloju and Onuwa Chukwuka while El-Kanemi got their consolation through Japhet Daniel.

And despite his team’s awe-inspiring display at the Agege Stadium, Ilechukwu refused to admit that his team were the better side.

“El-Kanemi FC have a good team and experienced coach in Ladan Bosso who is my boss any day anytime,” he said.

“He is still one of the best coaches in Nigeria. I won’t say we are better because he lost to my team.

“Defeating them does not mean we are better, I believe they tried.”

MFM top the Nigeria topflight log with 13 points from 6 matches.
