ABS FC Given “Win or Nothing” Mandate Ahead of Final NNL Showdown

ABS FC Given “Win or Nothing” Mandate Ahead of Final NNL Showdown

As the curtain prepares to fall on the 2025 Nigeria National League (NNL) season, Abubakar Bukola Saraki Football Club (ABS FC) face a must-win final fixture that could define their immediate football future.

The Ilorin-based side will host Kun Khalifat FC on Saturday at the iconic Rashidi Yekini Mainbow George Innih Stadium, and the message from the top is crystal clear: Win—and win well.

💬 “This Is a Mandate – Win Convincingly”

Speaking ahead of the match, ABS FC Director of Football, Alloy Chuwuemeka, fired up the players with a strong rallying call:

“The club’s proprietor has assured you that he is fully behind you. All bonuses and salaries have been approved, you will receive them. This is a mandate – not just to beat Kun Khalifat, but to beat them convincingly.”

ABS FC currently sit eighth on the NNL Group B table with 23 points, just three points above the relegation zone. A win will not only see them retain their NNL status but restore belief in the club’s long-term ambition.

📉 A Season on the Brink

It’s been a turbulent campaign for the club founded by former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki. Once tipped to challenge for promotion, a string of inconsistent performances has left ABS FC teetering above the danger zone.

A loss on Saturday could still leave their fate hanging on other results. But a win puts their destiny firmly in their own hands.

🗣️ Opinion: This Is More Than Just a Match

This isn’t just a final league match. For ABS FC, this is a fight for pride, legacy, and survival. The club has been a launchpad for local talents and a symbol of football development in Kwara State.

Failure to stay up would be a blow not just to the team, but to the ecosystem that depends on them—players, fans, academy hopefuls, and the wider Ilorin football community.
