Precious Oham

Ahead of the round of 16 tie of the 2024 President Federation Cup with Kwara United, captain of Abia Warriors, Augustine Njoku said they are confident of a favourable result, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

The Pride of Abia arrived in Ogun State in preparation for the epic encounter with fellow Premier League campaigners, Kwara United of Ilorin at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne.

According to him; "Since the FA Cup (President Federation Cup) started we've been playing against lower division teams and now is the time to play against a fellow Premier League side. It's going to be a very big game for us and I believe we'll come out victorious and proceed to quarter-finals."

On a possible threat that could be posed by his former Abia Warriorteammateses who are now on the payroll of Kwara United, Njoku sees it as a mere reunion and nothing more.

"It's a good one equally, I can say that's part of football. In football, your teammate today can equally be your opponent tomorrow, that's how football is. And it's a good one. It's going to be a kind of reunion between us and them, because they left in the mid-season of this current season to join Kwara United and since then we've not seen ourselves. 

"I know they will give some information about our team to their new employers but I believe our team have improved much more than when they left. So, it's going to be a reunion between us and them and it will be great to see them again."

The encounter comes up on Wednesday, 29th May 2024, at 1 pm at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne.
