Akwa Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel Udom, is yet to redeem his pledge to each Akwa United player with N2m and residential apartments for winning a historic first Federation Cup.
The Promise Keepers defeated Lobi Stars 2-1 in the final of the 2015 Federation Cup at the Teslim Balogun Stadium with goals from Nnamso Edo and Abdulafeez Awakan, who was voted the most valuable player of the competition.
The Governor who promised to reward the players with mouth watering incentives should they win the trophy in what was their first attempt has failed to fulfil his promises.
