“SWAN is calling on the government to as a matter of urgency set-up a committee to look into the problems facing the club with a view to finding a lasting solution.
“The team currently occupies the 15th position on the league table with only 24 points from 21 matches.
“This does not reflect the State Government investment in the club,” he said.
The SWAN secretary pointed out that investigating the club would allow the government to examine and x-ray its lacklustre performance at the league.
“SWAN calls on the management and players of the club to brace up and return the state darling team to its position of eminence,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the club in its last two matches suffered a devastating 1-5 away defeat in the hands of Katsina United FC in Katsina and a 2-1 home defeat by Nasarawa United FC of Lafia.(NAN)
