Oborevwori Donates Buses To Warri Wolves, Delta Queens Football Clubs
Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has boosted the morale of the state’s top football teams with the donation of four brand-new buses to Warri Wolves and Delta Queens Football Clubs.
The governor, while presenting the vehicles on Wednesday, at Government House Asaba, said the gesture was aimed at motivating the teams to perform better in their domestic and international competitions. Each club received a Toyota Coaster bus and a Toyota Hiace bus.
Oborevwori explained that the donation was prompted by recent challenges faced by the teams, including travel hitches due to old vehicles.
According to him, providing reliable and comfortable vehicles is part of his administration’s commitment to sports development in the State.
“Delta State is doing very well in sports across Nigeria. But we must continue to motivate our players to do even better,” the governor said.
“I was told recently that one of the teams had issues with their vehicle on the road because the vehicle is old. I immediately directed the procurement of two Coaster buses and two Hiace buses, one set for Warri Wolves and the other for Delta Queens.”
He charged the players and officials to remain focused and committed, noting that the state government always rewards excellence.
“This is to motivate you. When you win matches and medals, we pay your bonuses promptly. We want you to keep striving, keep winning, and keep making Delta proud,” Oborevwori added.
Head Coach of Delta Queens, Samson Keshi, and Team Captain, Owoeye Temitope, who spoke on behalf of the team, lauded the governor for what they described as an unprecedented gesture.
They said the gesture was a great feat, adding that they have not received such support before and assured that they would strive harder to win laurels for Delta state.
With both teams currently competing in the nation’s top leagues, the donation is expected to enhance their logistics, boost their morale, and overall performance as Delta continues to consolidate its reputation as the sporting capital of Nigeria.
