SPORTS: PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES REMO STARS ON HISTORIC FOOTBALL LEAGUE VICTORY

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated the Remo Stars Football Club for winning the 2024-2025 Nigerian Premier Football League title.

President Tinubu describes the historic victory, four years after the team's promotion to the elite league, as a testament to the hard work, discipline, and unyielding spirit of the players, the coaching crew and the management.

In a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, the President admired the team's resilience and perseverance, noting their courage in pursuing success despite three previous near-misses in the race for the league title.

He expressed the hope that their example will inspire other Nigerian clubs to pursue their dreams continuously with tenacity and optimism.

President Tinubu also commended the vision and commitment of the club's owner and chairman, Mr. Kunle Soname, noting that his investment in grassroots football, exemplified by the construction of the state-of-the-art stadium in Ikenne, has provided a vital foundation for the growth of sports in Nigeria.

He said as Nigeria's champions, Remo Stars have become the country's representatives in the CAF Champions League, and he urged the team to deploy the same undaunting spirit and focus to win continental honours.

He also called on football fans across Nigeria to rally behind the team as they carry the nation's hopes onto the African stage.
