Enyimba FC’s new defensive sensation, Mohammed Husseni, is rallying the team’s fans ahead of their highly anticipated NPFL match against Niger Tornadoes on Sunday.
Husseni is calling on the People’s Elephant faithful to pack the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba and cheer the team to victory.
The towering centre-back, who only just crossed over from the Tornadoes, has wasted no time settling into life in Aba. Ahead of the NPFL Matchday 2 showdown at 4pm, Husseni is already winning hearts, not just with his commanding presence in training, but with his heartfelt rallying cry to the fans.
“All we want is for the fans to come all out and support us,” Husseni told Enyimba Media after the team’s final preparations. “Me and my colleagues, old and new, are ready for the maximum points on Sunday. We’re going all in for victory.”
For the nine-time league champions, the clash carries weight. After a hard-fought draw in Kano on opening day, Coach Stanley Eguma has drilled his side for nothing short of three points at home. With the squad at full strength—bar Mujeed Odufeso, suspended after his red card against Barau FC—Enyimba is primed to unleash their firepower.
Sunday’s fixture will also serve up a layer of intrigue. Husseni, once the defensive backbone of Tornadoes, will now stand in Enyimba’s colours, facing his former teammates. That extra spice adds to a fixture already brimming with history: in 19 meetings since 2009, Enyimba have claimed 9 wins, Tornadoes 6, with 4 ending in stalemate.
The Aba cauldron has long been a fortress, and with the fans’ drums, chants, and blue sea of support, Husseni believes the People’s Elephant can trample the Ikon Allah Boys into submission.
For Enyimba, Sunday is more than a game—it’s a statement of intent in their quest to reclaim NPFL glory. And for Husseni, it’s the perfect occasion to prove he is indeed the new wall of Aba.
