President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Remo Stars Football Club on their victory in the 2024–2025 Nigerian Premier Football League season, describing the achievement as a major milestone that puts Ikenne and Ogun State firmly in the national spotlight.
In a statement issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu commended the players, coaching crew, and management of Remo Stars for what he called their “hard work, discipline, and unyielding spirit.”
He praised the team’s resilience and perseverance, noting their determination in the face of previous disappointments.
Their courage in pursuing success despite three previous near-misses in the race for the league title is admirable.
I hope their example will inspire other Nigerian clubs to pursue their dreams continuously with tenacity and optimism,” Tinubu said.
The President also extended special recognition to the club’s owner and chairman, Mr. Kunle Soname, applauding his commitment to the development of grassroots football.
He noted that Soname’s investment, particularly the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium in Ikenne, had provided a vital foundation for the growth of sports in Nigeria.
With the NPFL title secured, Remo Stars will now represent Nigeria in the CAF Champions League.
President Tinubu urged the team to maintain their “undaunting spirit and focus” as they aim for continental honours.
He further called on football fans across the country to support the team as they embark on their journey on the African stage.
