” The Commissioner For Youth and Sports Development in the state, Asiwaju Seun Fakorede, and his team in the Sports Ministry have been so wonderful and a blessing to Crown FC.

” The only way to reciprocate the good gestures of the Governor is by paying back with desired results and gaining promotion to the elite division. You have done it before and I believe you will do it again this season.
” Covid-19 is real and I plead that you comply with all the rules as stipulated by the National Centre For Disease Control (NCDC) and other relevant authorities.
” I appreciate the technical crew for always rising to the occasion. We have very limited time and I believe they are equal to the task ahead of new 2020/2021 Nigeria National League (NNL) season which is slated to kick off on the 16th January,2021.

” I glorify Almighty Allah for ushering us into 2021. I pray this year will be a very glorious years for us all.
” To be candid I am disappointed that few of the players are yet to resume. I see no reason whatsoever for not being here with us. Though , I received calls from them and I must tell you as I told them that their excuses are flimsy.
” One thing I want all of you to know is that football is team work. There is no best player in the team. Every player here can play at any given opportunity so nobody should put up a high shoulder because you are opportune to play.
” We have no time to waste at all. The late comers will be sanctioned appropriately according to the rules of the team on resumption.
” I urge you to be more prayerful and tolerant of one another. Love and care for one another, that’s the spirit.
” This season will favour us more than ever before Insha Allah”, Ojotoro as the TM is fondly called, submitted.
