Abia Warriors Aim for Maximum Points in Crucial Home Clash with El‑Kanemi Abia Warriors forward Wilson Elu says the side is fully focused on securing maximum points in their upcoming match with El‑Kanemi Warriors, set for today at the Umuahia Township Stadium. The clash is part of matchday eight of the NPFL. Elu insisted that fatigue won’t be used as an excuse, affirming that the team is "prepared one hundred percent" to get the job done. Following a disappointing 2–0 loss to Rangers in a midweek rescheduled fixture, Abia Warriors dropped to 4th place on the league table with 12 points from seven matches. Meanwhile, El‑Kanemi Warriors occupy 7th place with 11 points from the same number of matches. Elu emphasised that the squad is refusing to dwell on the Rangers defeat. "Once a game is done and dusted, we move on to the next one," he said, adding that the coaching staff has instilled a mentality of progression and resilience. Editorial Elu’s stance exemplary in modern football. Too often, teams cling to past results good or bad letting them define the next outing. Here, Abia Warriors show both humility and ambition: humility in admitting the setback, ambition in targeting victory. Losing 2–0 to Rangers could demoralise squads, but the leadership at Abia appears to be turning it into fuel. The insistence that fatigue won’t be an alibi elevates professionalism: matches are not won by excuses but by will, preparation, and execution. In Nigeria’s league, consistency often separates champions from pretenders. Abia Warriors have shown promise in stretches. Their ability to reset mentally after a loss may well determine how far they go. A club that can bounce back swiftly asserts that it is built for more than occasional glory—it is constructed for sustained success.
