The newly elected Chairman of Abuja All Stars Football Club of Kubwa in the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Godwin Ekpah aka (Godons), has stated that the welfare of his members would be his number one priority, as numbers of initiatives would be put on ground for the betterment of members.

 

He gave this assurance on Saturday, in Abuja, during the inaugural match between the club and their counterparts from Tunga-Maji Soccer Ambassador at their Stadium called “Maracana”

Though, the battle  between  Abuja All Stars Football Club of Kubwa and their counterparts from Tunga-Maje Soccer Ambassador ended in a goaless draw at Maracana stadium, but the game was adjudged to meet it’s purpose as fans, supporters  were entertained to stupor, as display of strength, good character and excellent performance between the two teams were second to none.

 

The two sides gave good account of themselves; the away team, Soccer Ambassador of Tunga-Maje, put some threats but thanks to the well coordinated defence players of Abuja All Stars Football Club of Kubwa, who stood tall to ensure the threats yielded no result.

 

Kubwa All Star FC had a very good chance to win the match towards the end of the second half, but a good goal keeping from the Soccer Ambasador goal keeper denied the opportunity, as the game ended in a draw.

 

While speaking, the  Chairman of the club, Mr. Ekpah, who was full of excitement, described the game as a very good one and said, display of excellence during the game is just little compared to what the fans should be expecting going forward.

According to him, one of our major aims, apart from keeping fit, is to inter-relate, “as you can see, we have brought in some of our brothers from another sphere, we are determined to connect with more people from other areas and see how we can broaden the horizon and do business.”

 

Talking about what the members should be expecting from the new executives, he said; “There are quite a number of things for us to achieve, we stated clearly before in our election that we want to come together as a strong one united family where members will be equal, where everybody will give his best. As soon as we have that, we would be able to have unity of purpose and move in the direction of peace, progress and development.

 

“Beyond that, we want to see how we can improve the welfarism of our members, we have come up with some programme like co-operative, we have come up with a very robust Committee in the area of welfare to be able to see that wherever there are challenges, that is brought to our attention to handle it very well.

“We also intend clearly to ensure that accountability is our watchword, where contributions are coming in, where grants are being given and funds raised to celebrate one another and above all, the finance of the club would be made clear to every members. He promised.”

 

The match was also used to honour  four fallen members; “We are also remembering some of our brothers whom we lost in the struggle;  Micheal Ajayi, Sunday Kure James, Olamide Oluwaseyi and John Amaga. Football has brought us together, four of them passed on, I’m sure where they are now, they will be happy that we had a good game in memories of them, may their souls rest in peace. He prayed.”
The Patron of the club, Amb. Uzoma Ogbonna hailed the new Excos for the programmes and initiatives already in place to move All Stars Kubwa forward. He, however, promised to give his unalloyed support and do all within his power to improve the club.

One of the fans identified as Mr. Yusuf expressed, “I enjoyed myself more today, the game was interesting, I did not waste my time watching the game, that is why every Saturday, I will make sure I come here to cheer the club.”
