WIENCO THREATENS TO WITHDRAW ITS SUPPORT TO RTU

Real Tamale United might soon face financial difficulties due to far advanced plans by the clubs major sponsor, Wienco Agriculture Limited to withdraw its financial and logistical support to the club.
In spite of the huge investment Wienco has provided RTU with over the years, confirmed reports are that a cross section of RTU’s Supporters Club allegedly assaulted Mr. Henry Wienchis, CEO of Wienco Agriculture Limited.
By extension, the technical team, match officials and Directors of the club were also attacked which led to the pre-matured resignation of Coach Abdul Razak as the head coach after the last season.
This threat by Wienco’s CEO to withdraw his company’s support has sent some well meaning supporters of RTU panicking including the leadership of a group called the National Channels Council of Real Tamale United that is calling on the Wienco CEO to rescind his decision.
Spokesperson of the group, Farouk Issahaku Kanawu at a news conference regretted the actions of the rioters and rendered an unqualified apology to Mr. Wienchis, the technical team and management of the club.
Farouk Issahaku described as generally unacceptable that untoward behavior which was meted out to the Wienco CEO and gave the assurance that the National Channels Council will ensure that such uncalled for situation will never re-occur.
He said the contribution made by Wienco towards RTU’s upkeep over the years cannot be underestimated and pledged his side’s commitment to cement the healthy rapour that existed between the company and the club’s management.
