Abia Warriors have issued an unreserved apology to their fans and supporters following a disappointing start to the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season. The Umu Chineke club acknowledged that their recent performances have fallen short of the organization's expectations and ambitions.
The Umuahia-based side has failed to record a victory in their last six league matches, a slump that has seen them slide down the standings. In their most recent encounter, a matchday 12 fixture played on Sunday, Abia Warriors held Doma United to a 2-2 draw at home.
As a result of this poor run, the club currently occupies 19th position on the league table with 11 points from 12 matches. In a public statement, the management admitted that the current standing has caused frustration, disappointment, and pain among their loyal supporters.
The club assured fans that necessary measures are already being taken to address the team's dwindling fortunes. Abia Warriors pledged to restore the club to its rightful position, signaling a determination to seek redemption in the upcoming fixtures.
Manager Imama Amapakabo’s side faces significant pressure to turn their season around as the league continues, with the club seeking to end its winless streak to climb out of the lower tiers of the NPFL table.
