Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho paid a courtesy visit to Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello a few days after Mikel Obi visited him.
Mr Bello, on Thursday, shared photos of the 2021 FA Cup winner’s visit to the Kogi Government House on Instagram.
He joked that Iheanacho, nicknamed ‘senior man’ by compatriot and Leicester City teammate Wilfred Ndidi, has cut him a magical soap for success.
“Finally, Senior Man Kells Kelechi Iheanacho don cut soap for me! It is always a pleasure to meet a teaming, Patriotic, Vibrant #nigerian #Youth,” Bello wrote.

“Congratulations ones again on your #facup win. The future of our great Nation is the Younger Generations. The time is now. God bless #nigeria.”
Former minister of aviation Femi Fani-Kayode was part of the meeting between Iheanacho and Bello.
Iheanacho helped Leicester into the finals of the 2021 FA Cup in May where they beat Chelsea.
Meanwhile, ex-Super Eagles captain Obi visited Bello last Sunday and pledged to “support him in whatever future political positions he wants to go into.”

Kelechi, I advice you to face your career and achieve the great promise you showed. You are making progress but don’t be distracted. Abeg, leave politics and politicians for now.
As per senior man title, I doubt, In Super Eagles recent past, the confirmed Senior men are Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo, Victor Moses and Mikel Obi. These men contributions in time past in the green and white colours makes them qualified Senior men.
But Kelechi, best in Eagles colour is still his U17 days. But with more commitment and focus,you will be inducted into the club of Senior men.
Seniorman Kels!
