Super Eagles’ Sadiq Umar, El-Rufai’s son take over Ranchers Bees FC
Super Eagles player Sadiq Umar and the son of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, have officially taken over the acquisition of Ranchers Bees FC, as confirmed in a statement on Monday. The club, founded in the 1970s, was once a dominant force in northern Nigerian football but has struggled in lower-tier domestic leagues in recent years.
Umar expressed his excitement about the opportunity to rebuild the club's legacy, citing the pride and joy the Kaduna-based club has brought to countless players and fans. He pledged to invest in the team's development with the goal of securing promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) in the shortest possible time.
The move has been met with positive feedback from supporters and the people of Kaduna, who are eager to see the club return to its former glory.
