In his address, Mustapha Ussif appealed to the supporters to desist from selling the match tickets they have toiled to secure for them.
“We want to appeal to you to be moderate and discipline in whatever we are doing. I also want to appeal to you that the police and the security agencies are always at the various stadiums monitoring things. We have toiled to get you tickets.”
“We don’t want any of you to go out and sell the tickets we have given you. So far, the authorities have arrested some people and they are taking them to court.”
