Amara Kanu has fully embraced the Enyimba lifestyle after her husband and Super Eagles legend Nwankwo Kanu took reigns at the club.
Nwankwo Kanu's wife Amara has been pictured rocking the blue kit of NPFL champions Enyimba FC.
Amara was spotted wearing the famous blues just before the all-important clash against Ahly Benghazi in Aba on Sunday.
The People's Elephant welcomed the Liyban outfit hoping to turn around the painful defeat from the first leg.
Enyimba vs Ahly
After a gallant display away from home saw the NPFL champions score three away goals in a 4-3 defeat, there were hopes the Aba millionaires would turn things around at home in the second leg.
However, it ended in disappointment for the Kanu-led side following a goalless affair in Aba.
Benghazi came with a game plan which they executed to perfection as Finidi George's men were caged for 90 minutes.
The away side ended up with the ticket to the next phase after a 4-3 aggregate win while Enyimba are left to rue what might have been.

Before the decisive clash, Nwankwo and his wife tried to inspire the Elephants with some nice words.
The Nigerian legend, who has since taken over reigns as the new boss at Enyimba following his appointment by the Abia State government, shared a message on his Instagram page.
Kanu posted a message of encouragement on his Instagram stories with pictures of his adorable wife sporting the Enyimba kit.
"Are you ready?" Kanu posted on his story. "White and Blue all the way. Enyimba Enyi, the Peoples Elephant Nsogbu Nsogbu," he added.
Despite the beautiful pictures and words from the former two-time African Footballer of the Year, Enyimba failed to make their home advantage count in the end.
The Elephants will not be adding to their two CAF Champions League titles this season following the shock exit.
