Edo State Deputy Governor Dennis Idahosa has redeemed his pledge of N1.5 million to Bendel Insurance for the win over Kwara United.
Bendel Insurance defeated Kwara United 3-1 in a matchday 13 fixture at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, on Sunday.
Idahosa, who was impressed with the outcome of the encounter, made a promise to gift the team the said amount as a reward for their hard work and to boost their confidence ahead of their midweek clash with Nasarawa United.
“I’m impressed with the performance of our team,” Idahosa told Bendel Insurance media.
“We will see how we can encourage the team to improve. We are going to do all that is necessary and give all that it takes to support the club to get to the next level of progress.
“Bendel Insurance is our own and we will encourage them. We are getting to the top again.”
Bendel Insurance will take on Nasarawa United next in a midweek fixture on Wednesday.
