Toto engaged Keffi in a match today, notwithstanding the setback of a red card, which should have benefited Keffi, but Toto’s capability and determination enabled them to withstand the pressure and strive for victory.

The council Chairman, in absentia, was represented by his Deputy, Hon. Abubakar Haruna Kwanakis, who led a formidable delegation of appointees, APC leadership, sports enthusiasts, and stakeholders to solidarize with the home team.

The Chairman praised team Toto for their superb performance, although they were unfortunately awarded a red card, which did not undermine their excellent display.

He remarked that while the game resulted in a 1-1 deadlock, an unfortunate consequence, adding that Toto has surpassed Keffi, who had initially capitalized on a red card advantage but failed to achieve a winning outcome.

A press release from the Toto LGC secretariat, signed by Yahaya Idris Toto, Senior Special Assistant for Media and Publicity on Thursday, acknowledged Hon Tashas’ commendation of the State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr Shuaibu Labaran Magaji, APC Chairman, head coach, Committee members, and other supporters who gathered in Lafia to endorse Team Toto.
