After receiving the award, Danladi expressed joy for being found worthy of the honour.

Isaac Danladi stated that he truly appreciates this wonderful gesture done to me today by Dr Akabe.

He expressed his sincere gratitude to the Coach and his team. Especially, Danladi mentioned Tafida for finding him fit and proper to give this award.

Further, he stated, “In recent times, I have received so many awards, but I want to say that this is the most treasurable and valuable award I have ever received.

“I am touched, even though I have been doing what I am doing seamlessly, not knowing some people are sitting somewhere and appreciating what I am doing.

Isaac Danladi stated that This award would spur me to continue to do my best in the interest of football in Nasarawa State and the diaspora, as well as humanity generally.

“I have been following up with the activities of Dr Akabe and other local clubs. We are blessed with an abundance of talents, and as we progress, we shall be asking for those talents to team up with us at Nasarawa United or its equivalence.

“I wish to state that I will continue to offer my unalloyed support to Akabe FC and other grassroots Clubs in any way possible for them to grow.”

He thanked the Governor, Abdullahi Sule, and his Deputy, Dr Emmanuel Agbadu Akabe, for providing him with the right environment to carry out his duties unhindered.

Isaac Danladi expressed that he couldn’t have succeeded today in this Club without the support he received from the Executive Governor and his wonderful Deputy.

“My little way of paying back for all these two great mentors have been doing for me is to galvanise support for their re-election during the 2023 General Elections.

“Having said that, I wish to dedicate this award to God Almighty, Governor Abdullahi Sule and Deputy Governor Emmanuel Agbadu Akabe because they made me who I am today.

“I also send my warmest appreciation to the players, coaches and supporters of Nasarawa United FC because without them, there won’t be me as chairman.

“I will continue to be loyal and dedicated to the mandate given to me by this beautiful administration.

“May God replenish your efforts in many folds.”
