Sodje made this know in an exclusive chat with www.Cornerstonenewsng.comthat the Premier League is a major distraction for Nigerians even while in troubles.
“It is well watched in Nigeria, a lot of people watch the Premier League and then, it’s going to be a good distraction from what is going on at the moment and a lot of people will be happy to go to watch games,
“Although I really want us to concentrate on what is going on in Nigeria because, the Premier League is the English league and hopefully it starts on the 17th of June and we are back watching football again, but we should focus on the Nigerian league even as we are looking forward to the premier league return.
