The Chairman of Akwa United Mr Paul Bassey and the state commissioner for sports Mr Monday Uko seem to remain adamant over the poor outing of the state owned football club, Akwa United in the Nigerian Professional Football League 2023/2024 season.
The two managers have probably refused to comment; either they are waiting for the team to sink more or because of their lack of managerial prowess in football.
Starwitness had put a call to the duo to find out if the club is facing issues but none picked nor return the call they missed as of the time of this report.
For four matches in a row, Akwa United have only two points, drawing two games at home and losing two matches away and as well occupying the bottom seat on the league table.

For past seasons the team have been in a poor beginning but the 2023/2024 season is the worst.
