reports that Governor Abubakar led the state government delegation to Serial
Leone to support Wikki Tourists on Sunday.
The Governor
while addressing players, officials of Wikki Tourists and other delegates who
accompanied the team to Sierra Leone for the match reiterated his commitment to
support sports in the State.
The governor
wondered why some critics of his administration could not appreciate his
efforts in molding the characters of youths through sports.
According to
the governor, his administration will continue to do its best in all sectors
including sports.
He charged
the players to do the needful by cancelling the two goals
deficit and add more goals in the return leg on Sunday so as to qualify
for the next round of the competition.
