“The drop to the second position is temporary as we see it as one of the challenges on our path to become champions at the end of the season.
“We are preparing adequately for Lobi Stars as well as the next away clash at Nasarawa United aimed at recording a convincing wins.
“Of course, we will be champions it’s not an impossibility not even the loss at Akwa United can change it.
“We have told our teeming fans not to panic, the loss has come and gone we have to forge ahead.
“The position at the top will change at the end of matchday 30 clashes among the front runners.
“We have good goal advantage and will possibly occupy the second position if Rangers and Rivers United win their respective matches.
“So there is no course for worry we will climb back to the top and keep it that way till the end of the season,” said the Wikki Tourists strongman to supersport.com.
