Kanu rallies Enyimba fans amid crisis

Enyimba chairman and former international player Nwankwo Kanu has encouraged the club's supporters to remain loyal to the team despite their poor performance in the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season. Enyimba, one of the nine-time champions, are currently winless in their first three games this season and are at the bottom of the league table due to a leadership crisis.

Kanu addressed the fans ahead of their upcoming home game against Sporting Lagos in Aba. He acknowledged the difficult situation the club is facing and urged the supporters to continue backing the team as they work towards turning their fortunes around. "The times have not been most favorable. We understand the weight of the disappointing losses and we are determined to make things right," Kanu stated.

Sporting Lagos, who have had their own challenges this season, will be hoping to secure a win against Enyimba in their upcoming match. Kanu believes that a victory for Enyimba could provide the momentum needed for a turnaround in the season.
