The head coach of Enyimba Football Club of Aba, Finidi George has asserted that the title holders will continue to push hard to retain their title.
The Aba giants maintained second position on the table following a hard-earned 1-1 draw against Sunshine Stars in Akure on Sunday.

Speaking after the match, Finidi stated that a draw was good for both teams, noting that it was a 50-50 game.
“Yes, it was a difficult one, let’s say the game was 50-50, so I think a draw is good enough for both teams,” the former Ajax star said after the match.
“They wanted to win, we wanted to get something out of this game. I think you didn’t see lots of chances but overall a draw is well needed by both teams.”
When asked if Enyimba FC has a chance to retain their NPFL title with seven matches left, Finidi said the People’s Elephant will build on the away point obtained from the Owena Boys in Akure and continue to push to retain the NPFL cup.
“I think so, after having this one point here, I think we would build on it and see how we can win at home.
“We will continue to push till the end of the season, Enyimba, we don’t give up, so we’ll see what happens, others are playing also to see how they can win, I think this one point will go a long way.”
The Eastern Updates reports that 2023/24 NPFL season is expected to end by May.
Enyimba will host Katsina United in their next game on Saturday.
