The Chairman of Enyimba International of Aba, Chief Felix Anyansi-Agwu, has urged the players to go all out from the first match and end of the season.
Players and officials of the team were not allowed to celebrate with their relations and families during these periods and Chief Anyansi-Agwu was effusive in his appreciation of the sacrifice made by the team.
He said: “What you did is highly commendable. It’s not easy for you to have deprived yourselves of the feeling of Christmas. I know there is already a reward. Something has already been added to you.
“I watched, from a distance, your reactions…even on social media, and I am strengthened by your discipline, commitment and professionalism. I seriously appreciate you, from the bottom of my heart.
“What denied us last season was a slow start. From day one, we want to start posting results. We’ve done it before; in this club, we set records, and we break our own records.
“Let our work speak for us. The only way to show how hard we have worked is by getting results. In our history, we don’t stay out of the title picture for too long. At least every other year, we win trophies. That is why it must be a target, for this team to win this year.”
The People’s Elephant will kick off the league campaign on January 14 with a trip away to face Lobi Stars.
