He made this comment when the footballers and their managers stormed the Imo State Government House Owerri to present the NNL Championship cup.

Receiving them on behalf of the Governor, the Chief of Staff, Barr. Nnamdi Anyaehie congratulated the team on their excellent performance at the tournament that gave them the overall champion.

The Chief of Staff reminded them that they won the competition because God’s grace was sufficient for them, hence the entire Imo citizens who collectively prayed for their success are excited over their victory.

He emphasized that the undying spirit and dogged nature of Imo people in particular and the Igbo in general had once more been resurrected with the Heartland FC’s victory.
