Editorial
Remo Stars are proving that their position at the top of the NPFL is no fluke. Their latest victory, secured through patience and persistence, shows their to grind out results even when goals are hard to come by. Samuel Anakwe’s late strike and Hadi Haruna’s added-time finish underline the team’s strong mentality.
With a 10-point lead, Remo Stars now have a significant advantage in the title race. However, they cannot afford to be complacent, as Shooting Stars and other contenders will be eager to close the gap.
Enyimba’s struggles continue to raise concerns, with their seventh defeat of the season denting their chances of defending the title. Katsina United’s victory shows how unpredictable the NPFL remains, with mid-table teams still capable of taking points off the big sides.
If Remo Stars maintain their consistency, they could be on course for a historic league triumph. The question is whether they can handle the pressure in the remaining fixtures.
