The decision follows the sack of the previous board of the club headed by Chibuzor Ozor, by the governor of the state, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Chairman Christian Chukwu is now the GM/ CEO of the Club.

Rangers have not lived up to expectations in a bid to defend the NPFL title they won last year, the People’s Antelope have managed just one win and three draws this season, leaving them languishing in 12th place with six points from five games.

Rangers won last season’s NPFL title after a 32-year wait. They, alongside Rivers United will represent Nigeria in this year’s CAF Champions League.

“It has not been a great start to the season for Rangers to be honest but the time has come to steady the ship, Chukwu, who played for and captained Rangers said.

“First, I want to use this medium to thank the Executive Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, for this honour to serve my state and I assure him that I will not let him or the good people of Enugu down.

“I need the support of all stakeholders because that is the only way we can make this club great again.

 

“What we need to do now is unite and come together again as we look to do very well in the NPFL, the Federation Cup and the Caf Champions League,” he added.

Chukwu begin his reign as the club’s boss when Imama Amapakabo’s side face Ifeanyi Ubah FC in their next league outing.

BLACKFACE FACE WHAT’S REAL
@blackfacenaija you be my guy and @official2baba na my guy but I will tell you that this your move right here is very disappointing. You sang hardlife and all when things were even a bit bearable, but now that things are really messed up you have kept quiet. But here you are mouthing off over a 2Face move? Guy you fall my hand. Talking about educating people…..1. It is not a protest being lead by 2face. He said he saw the post and thought to lend his voice to it. Something a few other artists and people have done. 2. So you knew about all the governors embezzling funds and yet you said nothing. But you are quick to shout now because 2face name has come out on something. But you make it too obvious you have something against 2face and you should have let all this go by now. NIGERIANS are suffering and you are just monitoring 2face. Atleast he has chosen to lend his voice to something all Nigerians believe is needed. What have you done? You have details that should be out there for all to see but you only decided to speak cos 2face is involved. Guy change your ways. I know you as a crusader and not a 2face hater. The people need voices that can be heard, I know you are one of them. Do the right thing brother. Life in Naija now is harder than it ever was and Buharis people should let Nigerians know what they are doing right and also let Nigerians know who and who is doing wrong. You cant say you are doing great things when the people cant feel it. You cant say you are fighting corruption yet not one corrupt official has been jailed in 2 years.
