“We Will Survive!” — Akpabio FC Coach Patrick Udoh Confident of Beating Relegation in Tough NNL Season

As the Nigeria National League (NNL) season nears its final stretch, Godswill Akpabio FC finds itself walking a tightrope — just two points above the relegation zone. But despite the pressure, head coach Patrick Udoh remains unwavering in his belief that the Uyo-based team will survive.

“We’ll Retain Our Spot” — Udoh Stands Tall in the Storm

Speaking to CompleteSports, Coach Udoh expressed cautious optimism amid a challenging campaign:

“No doubt it has been a difficult season. The league is really tough, but I’m confident we’ll retain our NNL spot at the close of the season.”

With only four matches left and 12 points up for grabs, Akpabio FC, currently sitting in 9th place in Group B with 16 points, needs to dig deep to secure safety.

Udoh outlined his survival plan:

“If we win all our home games, especially the match against ABS, and get a good result in the away games, then we’re safe.”

The NNL: Where Power Meets Passion

Describing the intensity of the league, Udoh added:

“You see, the NNL is a power league. It’s all about power and brawl, with every team only interested in gaining promotion.”

This paints a gritty picture of a league where finesse often takes a back seat to brute force and raw hunger — a battleground for clubs clawing for recognition or fighting to avoid the drop.

Our Opinion: Akpabio FC Needs More Than Grit

There’s no denying that Patrick Udoh’s belief is admirable, but survival will demand more than optimism. The team must show discipline, consistency, and mental toughness in every remaining fixture. The clash with ABS FC at home could be the turning point, a must-win moment that could lift both morale and table position.

Supporters in Uyo must rally now more than ever. Home support, unity in the locker room, and strategic brilliance could be the ingredients that turn fear into survival and perhaps, a spark for future ambitions.

Final Word: The Fight Is On

Akpabio FC may be down, but they’re certainly not out. The final four games are not just matches — they are battles for identity, pride, and survival.

Will Coach Udoh’s boys rise to the challenge and finish strong? The football world is watching. Uyo is hoping.
