Former MFM FC player, Bashiru Olawale has hailed Heartland gaffer, Fidelis Ilechukwu has the best in the land.

The Nasarawa United forward made the assertion while speaking to brila.net, citing that Ilechukwu was more than a gaffer.

“He has a great understanding of the game and is very good at discovering talents”, he mused, while also reserving praise for Gbenga Ogunbote, late Solomon Ogbeide, and Coach Bala.

Olawale who moved to Lobi Stars from MFM before heading to Nasarawa pointed that he left Makurdi because he needed more playing time, while also citing that there wasn’t as much emphasis on togetherness at Lobi as he experienced at Lobi.
