He also conveyed a goodwill message from the club’s proprietor, His Excellency Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, who commended the players for their consistent efforts and improved performances throughout the season.

“Our Proprietor, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has been monitoring your progress. Previously, he used to gift us a ram for Salah, but due to your outstanding efforts, he upgraded the gift to a cow in recognition of your improvement,” Chief Chukwuemeka noted.

He further announced that the players’ Salah celebration package, including the cow, would be made available upon their return from Abakaliki.

In a major morale boost, Chukwuemeka revealed that all outstanding player bonuses and salaries had been approved and would be disbursed by 10:00 a.m. on Monday.

“His Excellency has assured you of his full support. This is a mandate—not just to beat Kun Khalifa, but to beat them convincingly,” he added.

Malam Thuraya echoed the message, calling for total commitment from the players and stressing that Saturday’s game is pivotal to the future of the club.
