“I am particularly happy that His Excellency, Chief Lucky Nosaghare Igbinedion, has given approval to us to make use of his Etete Pitch in GRA. It is not everybody that is given that opportunity, Edo All Stars are privileged to have our big father, Chief Lucky Nosakhare Igbinedion as member.

“In fact for those that did not know, he was the one that founded All Stars in Edo State. Since then Edo State have never had the opportunity of hosting the competition, now that the opportunity had come, we will make sure we use the opportunity to our benefit.

“We are obviously all out there to do the work assiduously hard to ensure Edo State All Stars host and win. I’m also very happy that in my tenure as Edo State All Stars President we are able to host this historic national event.

“So, I want to use this opportunity to call on our amiable Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu, who is our Captain to use his office to ensure that Edo State as the home of sports in Nigeria gives the best in terms of hosting.”

The likes of Austin Equavoen, Bright Omokaro, Baldwin Bazuaye, Momo Ayeigbeni, Tarila Okorowanta, Edema Fuludu, are all expected to participate in the championship.
