The sponsor of Rivers
United FC, the Rivers State Government has issued a stern warning to officials
of the club in the face of recent unconvincing performances and results in the
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
This follows the recent
underwhelming results posted by the club in its recent domestic matches.
United have failed to win
in their last four attempts, drawing three times (away at FC Ifeanyiubah, at
home to Lobi Stars and Kano Pillars) while losing on the road to Shooting Stars
in Ibadan.
The position of the
sponsor of the club was made known by the Honourable Commissioner of Sports in
Rivers State, Boma Iyaye during the presentation ceremony of one million naira
take off grant to members of the Rivers United FC supporters club on Thursday.
The Hon Commissioner urged
members of the technical crew of the club led by Stanley Eguma and the club’s
management team led by Chief Okey Kpalukwu to justify the huge investment on
the football club in the shape of tax payers’ monies or get sacked.
Rivers United is currently
in 13th place on the NPFL standings with 10 points from seven matches.
