Preparation is in top gear for Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu to host Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions, Remo Stars at Aso Rock, PM News has learnt.
The visit will happen before the new 2025/26 football season starts.
A sports analyst, Ojeikere Aikhoje, also confirmed on social media that a letter was sent to the President in December 2024, asking for a chance for the players to take photos and shake hands with him.
Remo Stars, also known as the Sky Blue Stars, won the NPFL title last month for the very first time in the club’s history.
Because of this win, they will now play in the CAF Champions League next season with Rivers United. Both teams will represent Nigeria in the big African club competition.
Remo Stars’ visit to Aso Rock will mark the first time any Nigerian president would be hosting the champions of the NPFL.
The new NPFL season is expected to start in August but no official start date has been announced so far.
