Bernard Ovoke Remains Upbeat After Goalless Draw, Eyes Bounce Back Against Kwara United

Bendel Insurance forward, Bernard Ovoke, has offered a spirited response following his team's goalless home draw against Enugu Rangers, assuring fans that their season's goals remain intact.

While the outcome in Benin may not have been the desired one, Ovoke stressed that the team’s resolve remains unshaken. Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) account, he wrote:

“We didn’t get the result we wanted in Benin, but we won’t let that define us. We would stay strong, stay proud, and get ready to roar again in Ilorin!”

His message captures the mentality of a team still in the hunt and unwilling to let setbacks dictate their journey.

In a league as unpredictable and competitive as the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), dropped points can be disappointing — especially at home. But Ovoke’s optimism signals leadership and maturity that fans and teammates can rally around.

Bendel Insurance has shown consistency this season, and while the clash with Rangers may have lacked goals, it didn't lack determination. With the likes of Ovoke leading the charge, their upcoming match against Kwara United in Ilorin becomes more than just another fixture — it's a chance to reclaim momentum.

True contenders don’t crumble after setbacks — they grow stronger. And from Ovoke’s tone, Bendel Insurance seems ready to do just that. Ilorin might just hear their roar this weekend. 🦁💪
