Plateau United management has issued a heartfelt message of appreciation to their supporters following a vital 1-0 win against Wikki Tourists on Sunday. A clinical 52nd-minute strike from Vincent Temitope proved decisive at the New Jos Stadium, securing all three points for the hosts in this high-stakes Matchday 21 encounter.
The club noted that the overwhelming turnout and vocal energy from the “Peace Boys” faithful played a significant role in helping the team navigate a tense second half.
The victory extends Plateau United’s recent unbeaten run to two matches under the guidance of newly appointed technical adviser, Gbenga Ogunbote. Since “The Oracle” took charge earlier this month, the Jos-based side has shown immediate signs of tactical improvement, having also secured a hard-fought draw on the road against Abia Warriors. While the club remains in 18th position on the NPFL table with 23 points, the current momentum suggests a strong survival push is underway as they look to climb out of the relegation zone.
Club officials emphasized that the synergy between the players and the crowd remains their greatest asset in the battle for top-flight safety. With several difficult fixtures approaching in the second stanza of the season, the federation hopes to maintain this high attendance level to turn the New Jos Stadium into an impenetrable fortress. The team now turns its attention to their next fixture, aiming to preserve the disciplined defensive form that has characterized the start of the Ogunbote era.
The club expressed their gratitude via an official statement: “Thank you to our amazing fans for turning out and standing with us. Your support made the difference.”
