More so, this tournament is meant to remobilize the teaming hard
working, energetic youths within my constituency, to showcase their
exceptional talents and apply their energy positively especially in these
perilous times where we observe untamed insecurity in different parts of the country as a result of youth restiveness.
The game of Football has proven unequivocally to achieved unity
effortlessly even amongst a multi-ethnic nation like ours, where people
young and old sheath their differences, laugh and shake hands in support of either Plateau United, Arsenal, Chelsea or our National team without asking whether it's Pan, Goemai, Youm, Piapung, Kanoem or Tehl, a Muslim or Christian who is playing.
