Bro. Obuah, who is also the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, expressed the hope that the Federation Cup feat would spur Go-Round FC to an impressive season that would launch them for promotion to the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL).
He further urged the boys not to rest on their oars but to intensify preparations to represent the state and win the national Federation Cup.
The President, and Sole Sponsor of the victorious Go-Round FC said his appreciation also goes to the Governor of Rivers State, Chief (Barr) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, whom he said had created an enabling environment for sports to thrive in the state. He dedicated the victory of the boys to Gov Wike, further describing him as Performing Governor.
Bro. Obuah assured officials and players of Go-Round that he would continue to support the club within the limits of available resources and urged them to sustain the winning tempo.
