The statement continued: “With Zesco United aiming to mount a strong comeback in the domestic league and an improved performance in Caf, Oburu will be the guy to watch in the 2022-23 football season.”
Zesco United coach Numba Mumamba expressed delight with Oburu’s decision to extend his stay at the club.
“We are very happy as a technical bench because the period that we gave Oburu to prove himself, he did wonders,” Mumamba told the same portal. “We only hope that what he showed us is what he will give us in the upcoming season and in the Caf competition.”
