The Anambra State Government has thrown its full weight behind the title ambitions of Rangers International with provision of over 20 buses to convey fans to Asaba, Delta State to cheer the club to victory against Kano Pillars FC in the final match of the AITEO Cup.
This much was revealed by the Special Assistant to the Governor on Political Matters, Hon. Chika Nzelu, in a chat in Enugu.
Nzelu, the two-time national chairman of Rangers International Supporters Club, said the club was not just a football club, but also a way of life and religion for the Ibo extraction in the country.
He said: “After our triumph in 2016 at the NPFL after a long wait, we celebrated a lot and with the victory over Nasarawa United in Kano at the semi-final stage, I believe the stage is set for another celebration.
“My boss, HE, Governor Willy Obiano, is already making plans to ensure that busses are made available to take fans from Awka and Onitsha and other parts of the state to Asaba to cheer Rangers to victory.
“Our governor is an ardent supporter of Rangers and there is great opportunity for him to watch the match live with members of his cabinet.”
