Emir prays for Bukola Babes

By Ime Bassey

Following the recent move from Minna to Bauchi for their home matches, Bukola Babes FC of Ilorin have been urged by the Emir of Bauchi, Alhaji Suleiman Rilwanu Adamu to be disciplined as it is the key to success.

The Emir made this known when he received the players and officials of the club who paid him a courtesy visit in his palace.
The Emir commended the club for choosing Bauchi as the venue for their home matches just as he prayed for the success of the team. He expressed joy that the team is made of young players which is the dividend of the establishment of the Kwara Football Academy by Governor Bukola Saraki.

Speaking on behalf of the club, team  manager Alloy Chukwuemeka said the team was at the palace to seek royal blessing and prayers of the monarch.  He told the Emir that the choice of Bauchi was because of the peace in the state as well as their love for Sports.
