FKFPL Nyamweya expresses concerns over Shabana's sponsorship unveiling process
The patron of Shabana FC has publicly distanced himself from the recent unveiling of the club's new sponsor.
“A patron is supposed to be a resourceful person that will steer the club going forward. We will no longer politicise the issue of patron of Shabana,” Nivaton said on Sunday while unveiling the sponsorship.
“Our governor came, he gave us the stadium for free, he has stood with us and supported the club. He has gone further and brought a sponsor to Shabana. What else do we need to call him a patron?
