The former Mighty Jets midfielder has told Goal he is eagerly looking forward to his maiden silverware with the Ikon Allah Boys

Niger Tornadoes defensive midfielder Ayo Adetola has reiterated his desire for his first piece of silverware with the Ikon Allah Boys in Sundayâ€™s Federation Cup final.

Adetola is aiming to put in an extra shift in the final against Kano Pillars to achieve their dream after a difficultÂ season in the league.

â€œFor me, it is a dream come true to be in the final of the Federation Cup with my team but we have not come this far to settle for the second place, we want the trophy and that is what we will be gunning for on Sunday, even if it means we will work extra,â€ Adetola toldÂ Goal in an exclusive interview about their big dayÂ coming upÂ at Ahmadu Bello Stadium inÂ Kaduna.

â€œFor whatever reasons, many people are not giving us a chance against Pillars but by Godâ€™s grace, we will surprise them.Â We are all determined to win this Cup to compensate our fans for our unfortunate relegation,â€ the former Mighty Jets midfielder added.

While Tornadoes were relegated from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), Pillars finished as runners-up behind Enyimba in the championship play-offs.

No matter what happens in the final, both teams will be representing Nigeria on the continent next season with Pillars flying the flag in the Champions League and Tornadoes in the Caf Confederation Cup.
