Danladi assures Nasarawa Utd fans of improve results

Nasarawa United Chairman, Isaac Danladi has appealed for patience from home fans assuring that better days are ahead for the team. The Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura boys rallied back from behind to steal a deserved 1-1 draw at Kano Pillars on Wednesday in the match day 16 of Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), a result that moved the Lafia-based side to 9th position on the twenty teams log with 21 points.

The Solid Miners are yet to pick an away win in the league this season as against previous two seasons, and this has not gone down well with the fans who are seriously mounting pressures on the coach Kabiru Dogo tutored-outfit. 

But Danladi, who also doubles as chairman of NPFL club owners, is quick to appeal for patience and understanding after Wednesday morale boosting 1-1 draw with Pillars in Kano.

"Results like this one can only spur us to work harder and dream big. We have the best sets of fans in the league and we are not disputing their passion for the game. We have set a standard for this club that we must maintain. We see the pressure from the fans as the needed motivation to fight harder and dream big. This draw against Kano Pillars is the beginning of better things to come. We hope to consolidate on that to get all three points at home this weekend against another difficult opponent, MFM FC. Once that is achieved, we can say the revival has begun in full swing," Danladi said.

He added: "We have a governor who has given us everything we want; we have a deputy governor too who pick our calls at any time of the day to listen to our cries.  When you have all these going for you, there is no excuse for failure and we cannot endeavour to fail.

"Twenty teams started this race from kickoff and we are currently sitting in 9th position but we can get better before the mid season. Rangers won the league last season, Rivers United finished second but today both teams are not finding life comfortable at the bottom. The race is a marathon, nobody can rule Rangers or Rivers United out of the title race just yet, just as no one should rule us out too.

"Our target is to win a trophy or at worst pick a continental ticket this season to appease our teeming fans and to say thank you to the government and people of Nasarawa state for all their support thus far."
