Wikki Tourists forward, RichardJonathan says he and his teammates will continue to give their best as the
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) progress.
The former Hearts FC of Abuja was
hero on Sunday as he scored two goals in his side’s 3-1 win over FC Ifeanyi
Ubah in the match day five encounter played on Sunday at the Abubakar Tafawa
Balewa Stadium, Bauchi.
The visitors shocked the home team
with early goal in the 4th minute through Prince Agreey before new Jonathan
equalized for Wikki Tourists in the 37th minute. Jonathan extended the lead in
the 43rd minute to end the first half 2-1 in favour of the home side.
Mohammed Guda netted the third goal
in the 79th minute to nail the coffin of the visitors and give Wikki Tourists
their first leagues win this season.
In a chat with SportingLife,
Jonathan attributed his good performance during the game to the will of God.
He added that the supporters of the
club also contributed to the success recorded on Sunday by their positive
behaviour throughout the duration of the game.
“It was a massive win for us and I
thank God that we finally recorded our first win. FC Ifeanyi Ubah is a big team
and we really work harder to get that victory. We will not allow that win to
distract us because we still have a long way to go. I have to commend our
chairman Isa Matori for his motivation to the players. We will try our best to
reciprocate the gesture. Our technical crew under coach Baba Ganaru are doing
great job too. I belief Wikki will achieve something big under him,” Jonathan
told SportingLife.
