NPFL: Kun Khalifat Keeper Appeals For Home Support As Relegation Pressure Mounts

As the Nigeria Premier Football League season approaches its tense climax, Kun Khalifat FC goalkeeper Chijioke Ejiogu has issued a passionate plea to the club’s supporters, urging them to stand firmly behind the team in their fight for top-flight survival.

Currently mired in the relegation zone, the Owerri-based outfit finds itself in a precarious position. Sitting 18th on the league table with 32 points from 29 matches, every remaining fixture is a must-win battle to retain their NPFL status.

Despite their lowly league position, there are glimmers of resilience within the squad.

The team has shown defensive resolve in recent weeks, suffering just a single loss in their last five outings—a run Ejiogu hopes can be the foundation for a great escape.

Acknowledging the crucial role of the fans, the goalkeeper expressed his gratitude for their presence during a recent fixture.

“The support we received from the Imolites this weekend was incredible, and we want to say a big thank you for standing with us throughout that game,” Ejiogu shared with the club’s media channels. “We need you to keep that energy up. Your support for the rest of the season is vital for us.”

The immediate challenge for Kun Khalifat is a daunting away clash against Bendel Insurance in Benin City this weekend.

With points at a premium, Ejiogu and his teammates will be hoping to channel the spirit of their fans as they look to claw their way out of the relegation zone.
