Izuchukwu OkosiPlayers of Enugu Rangers Football Club according to information gathered by Prime Business Africa are poised to embark on a peaceful protest on Thursday, July 28 to express their displeasure over the unfulfilled promise made to the team by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi after they won the 2016 Nigeria Professional Football League title.
Rangers also lifted the Federation Cup in 2018.
Following the league triumph, the Governor awarded each player of the team a plot of land at Rangers Estate but six years after the feat which was the club’s first since 1981, those promises are yet to be fulfilled.
Governor Ugwuanyi’s stay in office will come to an end in May 2023.
Since the league title, coach Ndubuisi Agbo and midfielder Ifeanyi George have passed on while Ifeanyi Egwim and Chidiebere Okolie sustained serious injuries that season that required operations abroad.
