A football tactician in the state, Coach Aniekan Umoh has said that the appointment of a seasoned sports administrator, Elder Paul Bassey as the Chairman of Akwa United Football Club about two years ago was the best thing to happen to the State-owned Premier League Side.
Coach Umoh who is the Assistant Coach of Ibom Angels Footbal Club of Uyo, noted that Elder Paul Bassey has used his wealth of experience to transform Akwa United and has taken the team to greater height.
He said during the tenure of Elder Paul Bassey as the Chairman, Akwa United last season finished 4th on the Premier League table, the best in their history and has also won the AITEO Cup, thereby becoming the first team in the Country to win the competition which was formerly known as “Federation Cup”
The Ibom Angels Assistant Coach saluted Elder Paul Bassey for new innovations being introduced into the team. He described the handing over of the team into the hands of God before the commencement of the league season as highly commendable. “There is nothing you can do successfully without God.
So, committing the team into the hands of God before the commencement of the league is highly commendable. Because he is a God-fearing youngman, Elder Paul Bassey will continue to record more successes with the team” Coach Umoh stated.
While congratulating Elder Paul Bassey on the performance of the Club last year, Coach Umoh prayed God to guide, protect and give the renowned sports administrator more wisdom to discharge his duties effectively.
He called on the people of the state to continue to support the State-owned Football teams to record good results this season.
