Lobi Stars boss harps on players, staff's discipline

... Tope Bulus takes charge as head coach

With the league reaching a critical stage, Lobi Stars Chairman, Dr. Philip Nongu, has issued a rallying call for discipline among both staff and players.

Flanked by State Commissioner for Youth, Sports and Creativity, Rt. Hon. Terkimbi Ikyange, State FA Chairman, Barr. Dr. Paul Edeh, and other key stakeholders, he admitted his disappointment, declaring that the second stanza had been worse than the first.

In a decisive move, Coach Tope Bulus was introduced to replace Muhammed Baba Ganaru, who exited after three winless matches. Players and staff were urged to give him their full cooperation or risk further consequences.

FA Chairman Barr. Edeh was blunt, warning that if performances do not improve, changes will be made. "Lobi Stars is bigger than all of us. The last 10 matches must be approached as must-wins," he emphasized.

Commissioner Ikyange reminded the players that beyond football, their livelihoods were at stake. A new policy was announced...only those who deliver on the pitch will get paid. Going forward, he said, a stricter approach would be applied.

On behalf of the team, Coach Tar Akombo, Save Okoh, John Gaadi and Sam Addingi all acknowledged their struggles, admitting that the current state of affairs had made sleep impossible for them. "Lobi Stars will not be relegated," they vowed. With 10 matches left, he promised they would fight like never before.

In a final, intimate session with the players, the Sports Commissioner reignited their fighting spirit. The journey to redemption had begun, now, only actions would speak.

Coach Tope Bulus, a seasoned tactician, has left his mark on Nigerian football, leading top clubs like MFM Lagos, Rangers International, and Katsina United with passion and expertise.
