“Last week when we had meeting with the management and players, the captain of the team assured us that they are going to win and coming out with victory against Enyimba. That motivated me to bring something on behalf of Ex-Iwuanyanwu Nationale if they beat Enyimba FC.
“We motivated them that each goal they score against Enyimba is N100,000. I gave them my own money but Ex-Iwuanyanwu Nationale Worldwide, I am speaking on behalf of them until after the game.
“The executive told them that if they can be able to win five matches, they will get out from the relegation zone. After the game against Enyimba, we will still meet them and talk and strategize.
“I have told the technical committee to think ahead not only Enyimba. We won’t allow the team to go on relegation again.”
