Obuah Hails Rivers Angel Over NWFL Victory
The Sole Financier of Go-Round FC of Omoku, Rivers State, Bro. Felix Obuah, has congratulated Rivers Angels FC of Port Harcourt for winning the National Women Football League (NWFL) trophy for a record seventh time.
Obuah in a statement by his media aide, Jerry Needam, described the Rivers girls as proud amazons, adding that, with the successful defense of the title which they won last year, they have stamped their dominance of female football in the country.
The Go-Round FC owner also commended the victorious girls for winning the title for a record seventh time, saying the feat is a result of hard work and determination.
Obuah is the Sole Administrator, Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) and immediate past chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
He said the victory of Rivers Angels represents another milestone in the Governor Nyesom Wike administration which he said its passion for sports development is unrivaled.
He described the Governor Wike administration as a story of sporting glories, recalling the moral and financial support also being given to the Rivers United FC and Rivers Hoopers in the Nigerian Professional Football League and National Basketball League, respectively.
Obuah, who is also the President of Go-Round Community (World-wide), also commended the coaching crew of Rivers Angels FC for a job well done.
He added that its technical and tactical inputs provided the tonic in the decisive final match against Sunshine Queens of Akure which they trounced 4-0 at the Otunba Dino Dina International Stadium, Ijebu-Ode on Sunday.
The Go-Round FC boss however, charged the girls not to see their victory as the end of the contest but rather a wake-up call for tougher challenges in the new football season.
He also called on the victorious football female club to see themselves as role models for upcoming players in the state and country at large.
“By the feat you just recorded, you have established yourselves as the all conquering team in the country. You are now the team to beat and this singular achievement has imposed a duty on you to work harder to enable you make a good mark at the maiden champions league for women in Africa,” Obuah said.
He also affirmed that the successful defense of these laurels would spur Governor Nyesom Wike to do more and take the club to greater heights.
