The Benue-born forward also praised Rivers United, ahead of Remo Stars Matchday 1 with the Stanley Eguma-led side, saying they are one of the big teams in the league. 

"Rivers United are a good team, and they have been busy in the transfer market.

"But, trust me we are not compromising on getting our maximum three points in Port Harcourt next weekend," He explained. 

Isaac also expressed difficulties playing away from home in the first game of the season but says that the team will cope with the challenges.

Remo Stars will be expected to challenge the likes of Enyimba, Remo Stars, Rangers, Akwa United, and Lobi Stars for the league title, when the 2023/24 NPFL season, kicks off this weekend.
