In a heartwarming display of support, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has extended his warm congratulations to Rangers International Football Club on their impressive victory in the 2023/24 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL). The Flying Antelopes secured their eighth league title, and their second since 2016, with a convincing 2-0 win over Bendel Insurance Football Club at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu.
The match, which saw goals from Kenechukwu Agu and Chidiebere Nwobodo, was a testament to the team's determination and skill. The victory was further sweetened by the fact that their closest rivals, Remo Stars and Enyimba Football Club, suffered losses in their respective matches, solidifying Rangers' position at the top of the league table with an insurmountable 67-point lead and one game remaining.
Governor Mbah's congratulatory message was a nod to the team's hard work and dedication. He also acknowledged the role of sports infrastructure in the team's success, highlighting the renovation of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium's pitch, which enabled Rangers to play their home matches in Enugu. This move, he noted, served as a significant motivation for the players.
The governor's support for the team and his commitment to sports development in Enugu State are evident in his administration's efforts to provide top-notch facilities for athletes. This victory is not only a testament to the team's prowess but also a reflection of the state government's dedication to fostering a conducive environment for sports excellence.
As Rangers International Football Club basks in the glory of their well-deserved triumph, Governor Mbah's congratulatory message serves as a reminder of the power of teamwork, determination, and support in achieving greatness. The Flying Antelopes' historic win will undoubtedly inspire future generations of athletes, solidifying Enugu State's position as a hub for sports excellence in Nigeria.
