….Counsels Toto Contingents not to lose hope after 1-1 draw with Keffi
Chairman of Toto Local Government Council, Hon. Aliyu Abdullahi Tashas, is impressed with Team Toto’s performance in the Nasarawa Governor’s Cup tournament in Lafia, Nasarawa State capital.
Toto took on Keffi today, even after receiving a red card, which should have given Keffi an advantage, but Toto’s ability and determination enabled them to withstand the pressure and aim for victory.
The council Chairman, though absent, was represented by his Deputy, Hon. Abubakar Haruna Kwanakis, who headed a delegation of appointees, APC leaders, sports enthusiasts, and stakeholders to solidarize with the home team.
The Chairman praised team Toto for their superb performance, although they were unfortunately awarded a red card, which did not undermine their excellent display.
He remarked that while the game resulted in a 1-1 deadlock, an unfortunate consequence, adding that Toto has surpassed Keffi, who had initially capitalized on a red card advantage but failed to achieve a winning outcome.
On Thursday, a press release from the Toto LGC secretariat, signed by Yahaya Idris Toto, Senior Special Assistant for Media and Publicity, recognized Hon Tashas’ appreciation for the State Attorney General, Barr Shuaibu Labaran Magaji, APC Chairman, head coach, Committee members, and supporters who gathered in Lafia to support Team Toto.
He encouraged team Toto to remain motivated despite the red card, emphasizing that it’s a normal part of sports, and the 1-1 result shouldn’t discourage them, as they can still adjust their strategy to win the trophy.
He conveyed his congratulations to Team Toto and committed the council’s sustained support during and subsequent to the tournament.
