Okwuluora’s plans for Rangers fans

The respected Rangers fans took to his social media account to make the pronouncement after a visit from the club’s vibrant General Manager, Amobi Ezeaku.

According to him, fans of the Flying Antelopes should be on the lookout for him as he would have the items which range from kits to snacks and bottles of water in his car.

"Today, I will buy 30-50 more Enugu Rangers jerseys,” he posted on his Facebook page. “I will put them in my car. Anywhere you see me and ask for one, I will give you one.

He encouraged the supporters who were unable to get their hands on the club’s official gear to wear white or red to the stadium in support of the Flying Antelopes.

"We want every football club to accept defeat before coming to Enugu State," he added.

More giveaways for Rangers fans

He boasted that Rangers would hit Shooting Stars before stating in separate posts that the gesture, which includes giving 1000 water bottles and snacks, is their own way of supporting the club.
