Governor Bello gifts Niger Tornadoes FC 1M over win against Dakkada FC

Posted : 13 April 2023
Gov. Abubakar Sani Bello has redeemed the N1Million naira pledge made to the team for beating Dakkada FC in the Match Day 9 encounter.

Africa Sport Network (ASN) reports that it was ecstasy in the camp of Niger Tornadoes after the club Chairman Honourable Adamu Aliyu who doubles as the Principal Private Secretary to Niger State Governor delivered the pledge.

ASN recalled that the Ikon Allah Boys eased past stubborn Dakkada via a David Okoromi strike in a Matchday 9 fixture of the Nigeria Premier Football League played at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.  

After three consecutive draws in their adopted home ground, the needed 3 points spurred Tornadoes on, as they finished the first half of the season 5th on the Group B log with 12 points, and kept their hunt for a Super 6 play-off ticket alive.

Coach Bala Abubakar thanked Gov. Abubakar Sani Bello for his kind gesture and commitment towards the club.

“I feel we should show appreciation to our Governor for doing well this time as regards motivation, which has been lacking for a long time.

"For us, this is the tonic needed to galvanise the team going forward as it has been a tough first stanza, as it's never easy playing matches away from home.

"Despite the hurdles, we are still on track to finish the season on a high. Not forgetting our amiable Chairman, Honourable Aliyu, credit to him for his hard work and support towards the team." 

Bala, however assured fans and critics to watch out for a better Tornadoes as the second stanza of the league sets to commence after the general election break.

"We have used the election break to drill and reinforce the team with quality legs as we are working tirelessly on the team's weak areas we had identified in the first round.

"I don't want to make any promises but I want to assure everyone that Tornadoes will get it right in the second stanza of the season." he said.
