Abia Warriors Football Club of Umuahia has congratulated sister club, Enyimba International of Abia for qualifying for the group stage of this season’s CAF Champions league after dispatching Tunisia’s Etoile du Sahel in Sousse.
In a congratulatory letter he sent to the Enyimba Chairman, Félix Anyansi Agwu, Abia Warriors Chairman, Chief Emeka Inyama noted that Enyimba’s latest victory, has once again placed Abia State on the Sporting map of Africa and demonstrates that their emergence as Nigeria’s champions in last season’s league was no fluke.
He said Enyimba’s qualification for the money spinning group stage of the continent’s elite club competition came as a result of hardwork, determination and resilience and urged them to continue with the same spirit to enable them bring back the trophy which they won back-to-back in 2003 and 2004, to Nigeria.
According to Chief Inyama, winning the trophy at this time will also act as a pay back to the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, who, he noted, has not hidden his affection and love for sports through his immense sponsorship and support not only to Enyimba International football club but also to all other sports organizations in the State
