Of course, it’s a wake-up call. As I mentioned earlier, it’s the preparation time, and there’s always room for improvement. We need to learn from our mistakes and work harder to achieve our goals,” the midfielder emphasised.

When asked about his plans for the upcoming season and what fans can expect from him, Onoja preferred not to delve into his future with the club at the moment, keeping fans in suspense.

I will rather not talk about my future with the club for now,” Onoja replied with a thoughtful expression.
