Chief Coach of the Wada Boys, Fatai Osho noted that the match is as
important as any other fixture, as he also believed victory in that game
would boost confidence of his boys as they continue in their quest to
grab one of the available tickets to the apex league in the country.
While speaking through the club's media officer, Wale Mustapha, Osho
said: "We have resolved completely to beat Mighty Jets on Saturday here
in Lokoja. We have been down having lost our last two straight away
games, despite putting up our best. A win for us will help us back to
where we rightly belong, I mean we want to get back to normal ways, and
with God and support of fans we would achieve that.
"We have not been happy that we are yet to get away results so far, but
we are almost there, the team is improving by games and very soon, we
will get it right, we only need patience from the management, supporters
and fans" Osho said.
Team Manager of the Confluence club, Ameh Henry has also thrown his
weight behind his team and believe the club is on the right track of
attaining higher status this season.
Henry, who will have his team facing Mighty Jets, handled by his former
Coach at Lobi Bank of Makurdi, Bernard Ogbe said victory for Kogi
United against the Jos-based side is not negotiable.
"The team is going for total victory," Henry said. We are not playing
for anything else. We have taken over the available lands for Mighty
Jets to land in Lokoja, the only space is on water or mountains, and you
know what that means. Yes, Coach Ogbe was my coach during my playing
days, and its an opportunity to meet him again, but on Saturday, it is
full of business, and total profit of the deal will go to Kogi United"
It will be recalled that Kogi United beat Mighty Jets 2-1 in similar
fixture last season, and hope to repeat the feat on Saturday at Lokoja
Confluence Stadium.
Kogi United currently occupied eight on the log with six points, while Mighty Jets sits second on the table with 10 points.
