The Management of Enyimba Football Club of Aba on Monday issued a two-match ultimatum to the team’s Technical Adviser, Coach Stanley Eguma, to turn the fortunes of the team around. This was contained in a statement released by the club’s management and made available to newsmen by the club’s media officer, Samson Orji, in Aba.
The ultimatum followed a poor run of results in the ongoing 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season. The decision was reached after a management review meeting held on Monday, following the team’s 2-1 defeat to Plateau United on match day 10 at the new Jos Stadium. The loss marked Enyimba’s third consecutive defeat, coming after earlier losses to Warri Wolves in Aba and Kun Khalifat FC in Owerri.
The disappointing run has seen the nine-time champions drop to ninth position on the league table. The club has therefore directed that the technical crew must secure positive results in the next two fixtures — against Kano Pillars in Aba this weekend and Abia Warriors in Umuahia.
The management described Enyimba FC as a club with a proud winning tradition and a strong expectation of excellence. “While we acknowledge the efforts of the technical crew so far, the current run of results does not reflect the club’s ambition. We expect an immediate response and improved performance beginning with Sunday’s home fixture against Kano Pillars,” the statement read.
The club also assured its supporters and stakeholders that every necessary step is being taken to ensure a quick turnaround in performance as the season progresses. PUNCH Online reports that Enyimba is tied with Kwara United, sitting ninth and tenth respectively on the NPFL table with 13 points from ten games.
