Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike has expressed delight over the reelection of Aziz Yildirim as the President of Fenerbahce.

“As a team, we will continue on our way, and our goals. I am very happy that our president Aziz Yildirim was reelected.
“President brings to Fenerbahce all the material and spiritual values, large and indisputable. All of us are aware of that. Would like to congratulate him,” Emmanuel Emenike told the official Fenerbahce magazine.
The 26 - year - old signed a multi - year contract with the Istanbul giants after spending two seasons with Russian Premier League outfit Spartak Moscow.

“Russia is a very different experience for me. Russian people are different!

“But to speak frankly, I was not happy. Just kept doing my job professionally, ”he stated.
