Media Officer of the Naze Millionaires, Cajetan Nkwopara said deputy governor, Prince Eze Madumere after holding a meeting with members of the club disclosed the intention of Okorocha to watch the team's last home game of the season.
Rangers are in dire need of three points to brighten their chances of securing one of the continental tickets for 2014 as Heartland with 49 points equally need victory to escape relegation with an away game left.
Cash-strapped Heartland perhaps will not want to disappoint Okorocha this time knowing full well that only a win could impress the governor to annouce a lifeline for them after the game.
Skipper Chinedu Efugh speaking ahead of the oriental war said there is no hiding place for the Flying Antelopes in Owerri.
"We need this match than Rangers, they are eyeing the continental ticket but we are condemned to win in order to retain our slot in the premier league. It is surprising that we could end up in the middle of the table despite our impressive performance this season," said Efugh, a former Rangers captain.
Heartland who are battling their employers over unpaid sign-on fees lost 1-3 to Sharks in their last game in Port Harcourt. The team after the oriental battle are left with a game at Lafia against Nasarawa United billed for Sunday October 20.
