NPFL: Aba Elephants Vows To Win Title

It has been one back and forth, end to end and dramatic campaign for teams in the nation’s top flight as the chase for the title has seen an exchange and inter-exchange of the top spots by Sunshine Stars and Enyimba in the last one month or so, which in itself, has rekindled the interest of fans in the Nigerian league.

Between Sunshine Stars and Enyimba, the margin for error is slim as both are involved in the keenest title chase ever seen in the top flight in recent times, with just two points separating the two at the top now.

Sunshine Stars have enjoyed being on top for long since the league commenced in March but started showing signs of fatigue lately when six-time champions, Enyimba started sharing the top spot with them last month. And events that unfolded midweek, which saw Sunshine surprisingly lose 1-0 to Dolphins and Enyimba’s 1-0 triumph against the reigning champions, Kano Pillars, seem to have tipped the scale in favour of the marauding Aba Elephants.
