In congratulating Remo Stars Football Club on their win in the 2024–2025 Nigerian Premier Football League season, President Bola Tinubu said the accomplishment is a significant turning point that places Ikenne and Ogun State in the national spotlight.
Tinubu praised the Remo Stars players, coaching staff, and management for their “hard work, discipline, and unyielding spirit” in a statement released Monday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
He commended the team’s tenacity and fortitude, pointing out their resolve despite earlier setbacks.
“It is impressive how courageous they have been in their pursuit of victory in spite of their three prior close calls in the league title chase.
“I hope their example will encourage other Nigerian clubs to keep going after their goals with determination and hope,” Tinubu stated.
The President also extended special recognition to the club’s owner and chairman, Mr. Kunle Soname, applauding his commitment to the development of grassroots football.
He noted that Soname’s investment, particularly the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium in Ikenne, had provided a vital foundation for the growth of sports in Nigeria.
With the NPFL title secured, Remo Stars will now represent Nigeria in the CAF Champions League.
President Tinubu urged the team to maintain their “undaunting spirit and focus” as they aim for continental honours.
He further called on football fans across the country to support the team as they embark on their journey on the African stage.
