Akwa Unitedtechnical adviser, Abdu Maikaba has denied a report claiming that he was slapped
by a team’s fan after their Match day 4 Nigeria Professional Football League
(NPFL) clash against Rangers International on Wednesday in Uyo.
The Promise
Keepers are yet to secure a win in their previous four matches, amassing two
points out of a possible 12.
The
Uyo-based side played a barren draw against the league champions, Rangers on
Wednesday, which did not go down well with the home fans who were clamouring
for their first win of the season.
Maikaba in a
chat with SportingLife admitted that fans were shouting for win but never attacked
him as claimed. He insisted that the issue was exaggerated.
“I saw it
(report) on the internet that I was slapped on Wednesday. Nothing of such
happened to me. The fans were shouting that they want win but nobody slapped
me. One fan came closer to me but the security intervened and he was stopped.
The issue was exaggerated,” Maikaba told SportingLife.
The former
Wikki Tourists gaffer insisted that his boys have been playing well in all
their matches as he pleaded with their fans to be patient with the team.
“In our last
two home matches we played against big teams. Rangers International won the
league last season, while Rivers United came second. These two teams still keep
most of their players which is an advantage for them. They have cohesion and
they have been playing together for a long time. Anybody that had watched our
games so far will believe with me that we are playing well. We had good match
against Rangers and my players were excellent only that we didn’t crown it with
goal. We have noticed our problem and we will work on it to make necessary
corrections. Our fans should be patient with the team and very soon we will
give them what they want which wining our matches,” he said.
