For post-match press conference, e yarn say e don already sum am up — na very tough period dem dey pass through.
“But we go comot for this matter. I believe am well well. We go stay focused. Na one of those things for football. See the kind goal wey dem score us today — na just mistake, but mistake na part of the game.

“E serious, but we go keep correcting ourselves as we train and prepare for next game.”
As season dey reach final stage, Kwara United must quickly fix both their defensive mistakes and goal-scoring problem if dem wan survive this NPFL relegation battle and remain for top flight.
