Remo Stars manager Daniel Ogunmodede has warned his side against “relaxing” in their efforts to secure the Nigeria Professional Football League title, Footynaija.com reports.
Ogunmodede’s men currently hold a seven-point lead over Rivers United at the summit of the NPFL standings and with only four games left to play this season, congratulatory messages have begun to pour in.
However, the Sky Blue Stars have stumbled and stuttered in recent times, winning only two of their last five league games. With little room for error in these final games of the season, Ogunmodede insists his side will fight till the end.

“We don’t need to relax on our oars. We are not getting carried away with congratulatory messages,” he said in quotes revealed by Premium Times.
“We quite understand that a champion will always emerge at the end. So we are going to fight till the end.”
Remo have managed to finish among the top three in the NPFL for the past three campaigns. They look set to go all the way this season and Ogunmodede believes that the current stability within the club has played a significant role in their progress as a team.
“We’ve had the opportunity of being champions for close to 2-3 seasons. We don’t want to be ‘nearly’ again; we want to be champions. And in being a champion, we need to fight again. That’s what we will do for the remaining four games.”
“That’s what we’re doing differently. We’ve won more away matches. We are more focused, better stable now. The club is a process we’ve built together. We give it our all, and this season, we are more stable. That’s the advantage we have.”
