The Former General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Taiwo Ogunjobi has backed Prime FC of Osogbo to replicate their impressive form by beating Dolphins of Port Harcourt in the Federation Cup semi-final match today in Abuja.

Ogunjobi saluted the improving mentality of his players and urged them to sustain the momentum against Dolphins and ensure the team surpasses its 2012 feet when they won third place against Kano Pillars.
“I have to praise my players for the good work they have done so far. They have made us proud all the way and I’m sure this time can do it against Dolphins. It’s going to be difficult.
“The players need to go and give their all and set the confidence up,” Ogunjobi said.
The former 3SC of Ibadan General Manager urged his players not to be complacent but remain focused so as to achieve the goal of winning the Federation Cup. “Dolphins are a very good team with quality players.
It is not easy to beat such a team but my players work extra hard to overcome them,” he added.
