Nwodo said that a five-man committee has been put in place for the success of the trip to
Asaba and ensure that his members from all the branches in Nigeria were being
mobilised to drum support for the ‘Flying Antelopes’.
“I am indeed very glad that we are in the
finals once again after a lengthy break and we hope to make it count. No doubt,
we expect a tough challenge from Kano Pillars but with the way our team has
been playing, I don’t see us letting the cup slip through our fingers. We,
members of the supporters club have put a committee in place to help us
organize a smooth movement to Asaba and back with the trophy. We are looking to
mobilizing ten thousand of our members to storm Asaba to drum our darling
Rangers to a resounding victory,” stated the special assistant to Enugu state
governor, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
On the team's qualification for its first final in
eleven years, Nwodo added: “It is a thing of joy and goes a long way to show
the level of motivation been shown to the club by the governor of Enugu state
since he came to power. He a strong Rangers supporter and has never hidden his
love for Rangers. It is almost a dream come true and this is pay-back period
from the players for the cup to come back to Enugu after a long while.
“With the arrangement on ground, we hope to
depart Enugu with at least fifty buses comprising Marcopollo, Coaster and mini
buses conveying our supporters to Asaba while our branches in Nnewi, Abakaliki,
Onitsha and others have indicated interests to be in Asaba.”
