Benedict Akwuegbu, a former Super Eagles forward and Consultant for Plateau United FC, showered praise on the team’s management after their impressive 1-0 win against Enyimba. The match, which took place at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba, marked a significant victory for Plateau United under the leadership of Habila Hosea Mutla.
Expressing his joy over the team’s success on the final day of the season, Akwuegbu highlighted Mutla’s role in guiding Plateau United to safety and securing their position in the top division. He emphasized how Mutla’s strategic decisions helped them avoid relegation to the lower league, unlike other teams such as Lobi Stars and Sunshine Stars.
“I humbly wish to salute Plateau United FC General Manager, Habila Hosea Mutla, for not only ensuring the club’s safety from relegation but also finishing the season on a strong note,”
Akwuegbu remarked appreciatively.
Despite facing challenges during the season – including a points deduction following an incident with Rangers – Plateau United demonstrated resilience and determination. Their hard work paid off when they clinched a vital away victory against Enyimba in a fiercely contested match that ended with only ten players on their side.
Reflecting on Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang’s unwavering support for the team, Akwuegbu expressed optimism about their future prospects.
“May I also thank His Excellency, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang of Plateau State, for his great demonstration of love and support for Plateau United,”
he added optimistically.
The significance of this victory was underscored by Yusuf Abdullahi’s crucial goal in the 40th minute that sealed Plateau United’s triumph. Despite being reduced to ten men after Anthony Nwadioha received a red card in the 74th minute, they held firm to secure their position as one of Nigeria’s top football clubs.
This remarkable achievement by Plateau United not only solidified their status in Nigerian football but also showcased their resilience and determination against formidable opponents like Enyimba. As fans celebrate this memorable victory, it highlights the importance of teamwork and strategic leadership in achieving success at both individual and collective levels.
In conclusion,
Plateau United’s journey this season exemplifies how perseverance, teamwork, and effective management can lead to remarkable achievements even in challenging circumstances. As they bask in the glory of their victory over Enyimba and secure another season in Nigeria’s top-flight football league, it serves as an inspiration to aspiring teams across the country.
