NPFL: Kanu calls for support as Enyimba seek season revival

Enyimba chairman Kanu Nwankwo has issued a plea for support from his team's fans as the club struggles through a difficult season. The People's Elephant faced a 1-0 defeat to Inter Lagos at their home stadium in Aba on Sunday. Enyimba have lost all three of their league matches this campaign and currently sit at the bottom of the league table.

Despite this, the nine-time champions secured their place in the top division during the final match of the previous season. In a statement posted to the club's official X account, Kanu appealed to fans not to lose heart. He acknowledged the challenging circumstances and expressed determination to turn the team's fortunes around.

"The times have not been the most favorable. We understand the weight of the disappointing losses and we are determined to make things right," Kanu wrote. He recalled the fans' unwavering support during their previous match against Inter Lagos, even when the result went against them. "We implore you to stand with us as we wriggle our way out of this labyrinth," Kanu urged.

The club's next match is a home fixture against Sporting Lagos on Wednesday, a game where a win could serve as a crucial momentum-building step forward. "We are used to victories and we are proud of that culture. Come cheer us to victory as we kick off a resurgence. We will get it right," Kanu concluded.
