Federation Cup triumph: Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah doles out largesse to players, coaches, fans; to commence European tour next month
Still
basking in the euphoria of last Sunday's superlative performance of his
team, which saw them emerge as winners of the 2016 men’s Federation Cup
competition, President of FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah in his
usual display of magnanimity on Tuesday, doled out a whopping N15million
to the players, management and supporters of FC Ifeanyi Ubah.
The
players are expected to share the sum of N10million while the
Management and Supporters' club are entitled to enjoy a bounty of
N3million and N2million respectively.
The Chairman of the club,
Mr. Chukwuma Ubah in a chat with newsmen said that this kind gesture was
the President's little way of appreciating the enormity of the role
played by the players, management and supporters' club throughout the
course of the campaign to the eventual triumph which has made the entire
people of Anambra state happy and proud.
Reacting to the
surprise, team captain Elu Wilson, who clearly could not hide his
elation stated that the players were in awe of what they had achieved
and the contribution of the President towards actualizing this historic
feat. "We are very grateful to the President, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah for
believing in us. To lift this trophy has always been a dream but today
our dreams have come true. To receive a reward of this magnitude for our
efforts is a sheer show of Dr. Ifeanyi's nobility. In truth, we should
be the one rewarding him for all the investments and constant motivation
he has given to the team. We are very grateful to him" he concluded.
The
players of FC Ifeanyi Ubah made a return to their base in Nnewi on
tuesday and were thrilled to a rousing welcome by their supporters as
they headed straight to the Winners' Chapel Pentecostal Church for a
brief prayer and worship session to thank God for his mercies and
kindness towards them.
During a plenary session of the Anambra
State House of Assembly on tuesday, presided over by the Speaker of the
House, Rt. Hon. Rita Maduagwa, the Honourable members congratulated Dr.
Ubah on the historic achievement while eulogizing the players and the
entire management of the team for making the state proud by winning the
Federation Cup.
The team and its supporters are also billed to
commence their European tour of 5 countries next month in preparation
for next season's local and continental engagements.
