Uchegbulam, who spoke to LEADERSHIP Sports on Tuesday, appealed to Governor Uzodimma and Sports Minister Dare to assist the ailing Ex-international who gave the country his best during his hay days.

“I appeal to Governor Uzodimma and Mr Sunday Dare to urgently intervene and assist him to access quality health care immediately. We must not abandon him now that he needs every assistance,” Uchegbulam appealed.
He recalls that; “In those days, Henry was a delight to watch when he was at defunct NNB, ACB, Iwuanyanwu Nationale and the Super Eagles. He’ll always remain a living legend. I appeal to all Nigerians of good heart to kindly support him now. He can be reached through his sister, Mrs Kate Kogolo née Nwosu on 08032644552. Please, let’s join hands and keep Henry alive and well. This is a clarion call to the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), the minister of Sports, Mr Sunday Dare, the government of Imo state and all Nigerians of goodwill to rally round Nwosu to save his life.”
