The management of Osun United has dedicated the 2-1 away victory over Stationery Stores of Lagos in the Week 3 encounter of the ongoing Nigeria National League (NNL) to Osun State Governor, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola.
In their separate reactions after the game at the Soccer Temple in Agege, Lagos, Vice President of Osun United, Vincent Akinbami and the Team Manager, Kabiru Adekunle who led the delegation to Lagos said the match was dedicated to the Governor for his efforts on the team despite huge responsibilities before him with less revenue.
A press statement released by the Media Officer, Tajudeen Amodu reads in part, “We dedicate this victory to His Excellency Governor Gboyega Oyetola who has been sponsoring the team despite the dwindling revenue of the state. He has been a father to us by attending to our needs as and when due.
“We similarly thank the Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mr. Yemi Lawal and the Special Adviser, Aremo Adegboyega Adelabu for striving hard to oil the wheel of the team, thus making the journey easy.
