President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Remo Stars Football Club on their historic triumph in the 2024–2025 Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL), describing their maiden league title as a proud moment for Ikenne, Ogun State, and the nation at large.
In a statement issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President hailed the club’s victory as a powerful testament to the hard work, discipline, and resilience of the players, coaching staff, and management.
“Four years after their promotion to the elite division, Remo Stars’ historic victory highlights the unyielding spirit and perseverance that define true champions,” President Tinubu said. “Their courage, despite previous near-misses, should serve as an inspiration to other Nigerian clubs to chase their dreams with unwavering optimism.”
The President also commended the vision and commitment of the club’s owner and chairman, Mr. Kunle Soname, particularly his investments in grassroots football development. He noted that the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium in Ikenne has contributed significantly to sports growth in Nigeria.
“Mr. Soname’s contributions have provided a vital foundation for nurturing talent and promoting excellence in Nigerian football,” the statement added.
With the NPFL title now secured, Remo Stars will represent Nigeria at the next CAF Champions League. President Tinubu urged the team to carry forward their spirit of determination and focus as they seek to make their mark on the continental stage.
He also called on football fans across the country to rally behind the team as they carry Nigeria’s hopes into the African competition.
