Wikki Tourists fans in Bauchi on Sunday have expressed disappointment over the poor performance of their club against Sunshine Stars of Akure during their Nigeria Professional football League (NPFL) match, at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi State.
WIkki Tourists FC played 1-1 with visiting Sunshine Stars of Akure in Group B of the ongoing 2022/2023 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). After the Match Day 10 fixture, Wikki is now in eight position with nine points from 10 games on the NPFL table.
The match did not go down well with the fans, who described it as a fumble performance and worse outing so far, fans bemoaned the 1-1 draw by WIkki Tourists FC and the Sunshine Stars of Akure as they continue to rain abuses on the Coach, players and management of WIkki Tourists.

“They started the woeful journey in the first half when they could not coordinate appropriately“. Garba said. “Not until the second half in 50 minutes when the Captain, Idris Guda, secured a goal through penalty”.
“However, Cletus Emotan Eba equalised for Sunshine Stars just three minutes to stoppage time, 87 minutes. It is like Wikki Tourists are not yet ready for the NPFL. Something needs to be done, if not we will be embarrassed ”.
Another fan, Abdullahi Safiu, blamed the management for not setting the standard of players, saying “the players don’t look professional for my liking”.
He advised the government to do something before the club suffered relegation.
After the match, Wikki fans confronted the players to register their displeasure over the team’s performance in the current campaign. The two coaches declined post match interviews due to tensions from the fans invading the pitch just after the final whistle.
Wikki will now take on Niger Tornadoes in Match Day 11 on Wednesday in Kaduna.
