Ezekiel Edidiong, the forward for Enyimba, has made a passionate appeal to the club’s supporters ahead of their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match against Remo Stars. The encounter, set for Sunday in Aba, promises to be a thrilling contest as the People’s Elephant host the reigning NPFL champions.
Edidiong emphasized the team’s determination to secure all three points, calling the victory non-negotiable. “I urge our incredible fans to come out in large numbers and back us as we fight for a must-win result against Remo Stars,” he stated through the club’s media channels.

Edidiong spent the 2022-23 NPFL season with Remo Stars, and he admitted that facing his former teammates stirs up mixed feelings. However, he made it clear that his loyalty now lies entirely with Enyimba. “I have fond memories of my time at Remo Stars, and I’m excited to play against them this weekend. It’s a bit emotional, but the pride of the People’s Elephant comes first,” Edidiong explained.
With both teams eager to climb the NPFL table, the clash is expected to draw a massive crowd at the Enyimba International Stadium. The forward’s call for fan support underscores the high stakes of the encounter, as Enyimba looks to capitalize on home advantage against the league’s top side.
