“I think the new board has 100% hand in our biggest win so far in the on-going season against Abia Warriors, the success is simply the magic of the new management board.
“The board upon coming has done a lot to ginger and motivate us to action even though nothing concrete has been promised but they have gone out of their way to make us happy.
“We are happy with their coming and the five-star performance in the clash against Abia Warriors is our own little way to appreciate the board and in so doing tell the government that we are truly happy with them.
“And I must confess that the real turnaround in the team has just begun with the superb result against Abia Warriors.
“Or how else does one explains starting the second stanza of the season on a winning note it means that something big and great is coming to us in the future.
“Already, our chairman is dreaming of the continental ticket based on our performance saying that the league race is quite open.
“And we believe him that nothing is simply impossible for us to achieve at the moment once we are able to sustain the momentum.
“We have headed back to the trenches to prepare for the weekend clash at Nasarawa United in Lafia.
