3SC General Manager Dimeji Lawal confident club's chairman Hon Taiwo Lekan Salami will make strong impact



General Manager of Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan, Dimeji Lawal, sees bright days ahead for the club, going by the big plans of the new Executive Chairman, Honourable Taiwo Lekan Salami.


Making his first official statement since the appointment of Honourable Salami by governor Seyi Makinde, Kabongo, as the ex international is popularly called, expressed belief in the ability of the business mogul to take the club to greater height.

In a chat with the Shooting Stars Media, the former Femo Scorpions, Julius Berger and Shooting Stars' player, started by hailing the immediate chairman, Honourable Babatunde Olaniyan Akoro, who he said played his bits in moving the club from where it was to where it is, but sees his successor taking it further higher.

"To start with, I want to appreciate Hie Excellency, Engineer Seyi Makinde, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, who has never hidden his intensions to ensure the glory days of Shooting Stars return.

"His Excellency's choice of Akoro, as the immediate former chairman is well known, was not an error. Akoro was able to bring in some transformation, but we all know, growth takes time.

"However, based on the interactions I have had with my new boss (Honourable Taiwo Lekan Salami), I can confidently say, the governor has put the right peg in a round hole," said the former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles' winger.

"In Honourable Taiwo Lekan Salami, I can see a man ready to break the ground to put Shooting Stars to where the club should belong, as far as the round leather game is concerned, not only in Nigeria but beyond.

"He is coming from a football loving family, with unquestionable anticedents and vast knowledge of how a professional football club should look like. In addition, the name Lekan Salami is big enough to pull the strings" stated Kabongo 

He added. " Besides, the Chairman himself has weight in many fields, including politics, sports, football in particular and business. He has what it takes to open doors and we can see he has swung into action immediately..

"All these considered, I think it's indeed the dawn of a new era for this great club and I believe so much that everything he has outlined is possible, because here is a man, who has shown through his words and actions, that no hurdle is too high to scale, if you have the will".

While looking forward to a glorious days ahead for the club, on and off the field, the former Super Eagles' star, solicited for support from all stakeholders for the new 3SC boss.

"With the support of every stakeholder, I'm seeing this club reclaiming its rightful place on the domestic scene, also on the continent of Africa and globally, under the leadership of Honourable Taiwo Lekan Salami," concluded the former international.
