The Edo State Government has called on fans to come out in their numbers as Bendel Insurance take on Kwara United on Saturday at the Sam Ogbemudia Stadium in the ongoing Nigerian Premier Football League.

Insurance are currently four points clear at the top of the table after 12 matches and remain the only team yet to taste defeat this season after 12 matches.

Edo State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, in a statement on Thursday, called on residents of Benin City to support their club at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium.

 “It gives the state government immense pride that the team this season is unbeaten, as motivation from government has rejuvenated the indomitable spirit for which the football club has always been known,” the statement read.

“Football-loving fans across the nation are now making bets in an attempt to predict which team would inflict the first defeat on Bendel Insurance this season.

“We, therefore, call on all football-loving residents of the state to come out en masse this Saturday at 4pm, to watch Insurance take on Kwara United at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin, and cheer the team into another resounding victory and maintain its unbeaten run.

 “Edo State Government under the leadership of Governor Godwin Obaseki, has made huge investments in developing and sustaining the football club in particular and the sports sector in general in the state; investments which have revitalised sporting activities and elevated the state-owned club from erstwhile relegation into the lofty heights of visibility, which the team now enjoys across the nation and the African continent.”
