The Indomitable Lions' skipper called on their fans to stick with them ahead of the group stage and final phase of the qualifiers of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Despite firing blanks in the second leg in Yaounde, the Lions progressed to the final round thanks to a three nil victory in the first leg.
The Lions have come under heavy criticism from a section of their fans and the media for some lackluster displays of recent and the goalless draw did not make things better.
