•He also promised an additional $10,000 on the table for the players if they advance through the group stage.

The Turaki of Ilorin Emirate and Candidate for Kwara Central Senatorial district ahead of the 2023 general election under the platform of the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC) Party, Mallam Saliu Mustapha has promised the state professional Footballers, Kwara United FC a huge gift ahead of their Sunday match against As Douanes of Niger Republic.

Saliu Mustapha who sponsored an open gate for supporters and football enthusiasts in Kwara State to watch the team's final home game last month is extending this kind gestures as a way of encouraging the team and complementing the state Govt's efforts in placing Kwara United FC on the global recognition.

Mustapha announced the recent pledged through his official social handles,  the statement as seen by 9japarrot Media reads; 

"You may recall that last month, at the request of Kwara United F.C. management, I sponsored an 'open gate' for supporters and football enthusiasts in Kwara state to watch for free the team's final home game against Mountain of Fire FC in the 2021/2022 The Nigerian Professional football league (NPFL). 

Expectedly, our beloved Harmony Warriors victoriously defeated their opponents 3-0 to advance to the TotalEnergies Confederation of African Football Cup and represent Nigeria.

As a result of their outstanding performances so far, I am pleased to announce a financial  reward for the team ahead of their first round match against As Douanes of Niger Republic on Sunday in Lagos. 

I am pledging $500 for each goal scored by the team against the Nigeriens, and there is an additional $10,000 on the table for the players if they advance through the group stage, as well as a more generous cash prize if they win the tournament.

In addition, I have directed my team to make adequate transportation arrangements, in collaboration with the Kwara United Supporters' Club, for those who may be willing but unable to attend the match live in Lagos. Regular tickets will also be made available for free to the contingents. 

This is my modest way of supporting Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq's vision of always elevating Kwara through sports and other endeavours. It is my expectation that this financial reward will motivate the Kwara United FC team to achieve greatness, which has been their hallmark for many years, and to represent Kwara and Nigeria in the continental competition.

I urge all soccer-loving Nigerians in Lagos and its environs to come to the Mobolaji Johnson stadium in Onikan this Sunday (September 11 at 9 a.m.) to cheer on our team and make the second leg in Niamey on September 18th a formality.

He concluded by urging the Team to bring the cup home. He let's Get it done, Harmony warriors.
