The government of Nasarawa State has called for increased support for both Lobi Stars and Nasarawa United.
Barrister Isaac Danladi, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, praised the Supporters’ Club led by Jibrin Ali Baggio for their steadfast support of the Solid Miners’ players and management and urged them to keep up the pace till the team returns to the top division.
Additionally, Danladi asked fans club members to keep supporting Lobi Stars, an NPFL team that has made Lafia City Stadium their home field this season.
Nevertheless, he disliked the split in the support during Lobi Stars vs. Doma United’s matchday 14 game.
“Ab initio, the rationale behind Lobi Stars adopting the Lafia City Stadium as their alternative home ground for the 2023/24 NPFL Season followed an extensive camaraderie between Governor Abdullahi Sule and his Benue State counterpart, His Excellency, Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia, and the shared brotherhood between Nasarawa and Benue States,” he stated during a meeting with the supporters club.
“Also, I have enjoyed a healthy working relationship with the Vice Chairman and CEO of Lobi Stars, Dominic Iorfa, and it’s the utmost expectation of the Nasarawa State Government and people and the Government and people of Benue State to see both Nasarawa United gain promotion back to the premier league and Lobi Stars win the league title, respectively, and play continental football at their make-shift home ground as it would both be to our collective benefits.
“Therefore, we are calling on the leadership of the Supporters’ Club to control her members in order not to foment any problems capable of disuniting the fraternity or bringing the league to disrepute as Nasarawa State is known for peace, hospitality and harmonious co-existence, irrespective of any differences.”
