Oyo State Governor, Mr. Seyi Makinde and followers of Shooting Sports Club are still celebrating the club’s promotion to play in the professional league next season. Makinde commended 3SC after defeating Ekiti United, noting that the football team had brought back the glory of the state. He added that the promotion “is in line with his campaign promise to get the Oluyole Warriors promoted to the elite league within two years of assumption of office.
In a statement by his Chief
Press Secretary, Mr. Taiwo Adisa praised the doggedness and resilience of the
3SC players and coaching staff, who secured a golden gift to the people of the
state. The football club had sealed its victory defeating Ekiti United FC 6-0
in the final game of the Super Eight to wrap up the Super Eight League as
winners of the Group B Conference.
The team had earlier defeated Bendel
Insurance 2-1 and played 1-1 draw with Remo Stars FC to scoop a total of seven
points to top Group B. The Oluyole Warriors will play Niger Tornadoes FC of
Niger, which topped Group A of the Super 8, to determine the overall winner of
the 2020/21 Nigeria National League (NNL). Given these track records of
victory, Makinde said: “We are sincerely happy to see our darling team, 3SC,
back where it belongs: the Nigerian Premier Football League.”
“It gladdens my heart that the feat is
achieved just a few days after we unveiled the remodelled, world-class Lekan
Salami Sport Complex, Adamasingba, Ibadan, the befitting home of the Shooting
Stars.
“I rejoice with the government and
good people of Oyo State on this wonderful achievement by our darling team and
especially the return of good football to Ibadan. Surely, the Government of Oyo
State will ensure that the players and technical crew are rewarded for bringing
us this joyful moment”, stated the Oyo State governor happily.
