All eyes will be on the Lafia City Stadium this Saturday as Enyimba FC lock horns with Wikki Tourist in what promises to be a thrilling NPFL Matchday 33 encounter.

The People’s Elephant, determined to sustain their bounce back after the Abia Derby win, will take on the Giant Elephants of Bauchi in a crucial fixture that could shape the outcome of their seasons.

In a massive show of commitment and support, the Abia State Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Hon. Nwaobilor Ananaba, arrived in Lafia on Good Friday evening with the club's Sporting Director, Mr Daniel Eke to rally the Enyimba squad ahead of the battle.

The Commissioner, who personally witnessed the team’s training session at the Lafia City Stadium, delivered a passionate charge to the players, stressing the importance of securing maximum points against Wikki Tourist.

Speaking with fire and conviction, Hon. Nwaobilor made quite clear the importance of the match, while also assuring the players of their welfare and outstanding bonuses.

“I can’t emphasize the importance of this match to us and that’s why i shelved my personal schedules to be here to support you,” he told the players.

“I need you to be more serious in the game tomorrow (Saturday) to get the desired maximum points.”

The Abia Sports Boss further reaffirmed his commitment to the welfare of the players, insisting that a motivated squad would always deliver on the pitch.

“As you can see, i am getting involved in Enyimba games recently and your welfare is more important to me, because if you’re happy you play well.”
