Abia Warriors Have Apologised After Six Games Without A Win
Umuahia · Thursday 12 November 2026
Abia Warriors have issued an unreserved apology to their supporters after a 2-2 draw left the club six league matches without a win in the Nigeria Premier Football League. The club has promised a turnaround.
Why an apology is unusual
Nigerian clubs rarely say sorry. Poor runs usually end in a coach being sacked quietly, or in nothing at all. A public apology treats the fans as people owed an explanation, which is how supporters should be treated, and how they almost never are.

| Winless run | Six league games |
| Latest result | 2-2 draw |
| Club response | Public apology and a promised turnaround |
Six games is a fifth of a long season, which is why the club is acting now.
Saying sorry is a good start. Winning is the only apology fans keep.
The NPFL is long, and six games is not a season. But winless runs have a way of becoming relegation fights, and the club has clearly decided it would rather address it now than in March.
