Players and officials of Abia Comets Football Club of Umuahia, are going through hell at the moment as the team does not have a bus of its own and team find it very difficult to transport themselves to the training ground and match venue. 

We can authoritatively report that the team had been traveling with rented Abia Line buses which has not been convenient for the players and officials to seat comfortably.

Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, last weekend donated Marcopolo Buses to Enyimba International FC and Abia Warriors to ease the two state own Premier League teams transportation.

Comets players and officials complained bitterly of being neglected by the state government and appealed to the governor, to give the team a new bus.   

However, a passionate call has been directed to the Executive Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, by the players and officials, of the team to as a matter of urgency save the club from financial distress.

The team have sent Save Our Soul (SOS) message to Governor Ikpeazu, over the financial state of the team and make available a 32 seater bus.
