Enyimba winger Joseph Atule has raised expectations for the 2025/26 NPFL campaign, insisting the team will fight for maximum points in every match – www.naijnaira.com reports.
According to aclsports.com, the People’s Elephant open their season this Sunday against newly promoted Barau FC at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.
Atule, speaking with fiery confidence, said: “Coming to Kano, we are here for all maximum points, not even a draw.”
He explained that both new and experienced players have built strong chemistry during preseason and are united in pursuit of one goal—winning the league.
The winger, who scored eight goals last season to finish as Enyimba’s joint top scorer with Ekene Ezenwa, believes the hunger in camp is unmatched.
“It’s not just in Kano, but everywhere we play, we’ll fight for maximum points,” he added, promising fans a different energy this year.
The fixture marks Enyimba’s first-ever meeting with Barau FC, who earned promotion from the Nigeria National League earlier this year.
Enyimba enter the clash fresh from lifting the Ifeanyi Ekwueme Tico/Select Preseason Tournament, adding momentum to their quest.
The Aba giants last lost in Kano against Kano Pillars, but this time, they arrive with renewed ambition and Atule leading the charge.
