In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun praised the Remo Stars Football Club’s dedication and perseverance, which led to the team’s first-ever Nigeria Professional Football League title on Sunday. According to Punch Online, the team defeated Niger Tornadoes 1-0 to win the NPFL title. Abiodun said the team has maintained the innate ability Ogun State is known for, adding that their tenacity and perseverance have paid off. Since its founding, Remo Stars has continuously strived for the best with an enviable patriotic tendency.
He said the level of the team’s dexterity and capacity earned it the 2024-2025 Nigerian Premier Football League title as well as its promotion to the elite league four years ago.
The governor, therefore, implored other local clubs in Nigeria to emulate the degree of resilience and doggedness the team displayed to help promote Nigeria’s local league to enviable heights.
“It is my utmost delight that the age-long perseverance and consistency of the Remo Stars Football team have eventually paid off at the national level and to the admiration of every Nigerian, including our amiable President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“As the first privately-owned NPFL champions since 1996, who ceremoniously secured a place in the CAF Champions League, we commend the undiluted and unwavering determination of the players, the coaching staff, as well as the entire management.
“This is indeed the clear reflection of the profound trait of Ogun State as the first in all areas of success and our all-inclusive policy of transformation as enshrined in our ISEYA mantra,” the statement read.
