Alhaji Salmanu Abubakar, the chairman of Wikki Tourists, has reassured fans that the club will make a strong comeback following their relegation from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season.
The Bauchi Elephants ended the campaign at the foot of the NPFL standings, accumulating just 40 points from 38 matches. Abubakar acknowledged that this season ranks among the most challenging in the club’s history.
“Wikki Tourists is bigger than one season. The elephant may stumble, but it never forgets how to rise,” Abubakar affirmed as the NPFL season came to a close.
Joining Wikki Tourists in the drop to the Nigeria National League (NNL) are Remo Stars, Bayelsa United, and El-Kanemi Warriors. Meanwhile, Rangers FC claimed the NPFL title at the season’s end.
