Nahimana, who hails from Congo and has also played for FKF Premier League side Sofapaka before retiring to pursue music, emphasized the importance of supporting each other, especially in times of need.
"I don't normally mention the things I do for others, but this is an exception. Not to brag, but to encourage others to support as well. God bless my captain," he concluded.
