NPFL Preview: Bayelsa United FC vs Enugu Rangers FC

Date: 19/2/2023

Venue: Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa

Kick-off: 4:00pm


The first stanza of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) abridged season comes to an end this weekend as bottom placed Bayelsa United tackles seventh placed Enugu Rangers at the Samson Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa in group B.

Home side bayelsa United will be hoping to end the first round of the league on a winning note after a poor run of zero wins in their last four matches which has seen them placed bottom of the group albeit with a game in hand. The prosperity Boys got a valuable point away at Niger Tornadoes in match week eight courtesy of striker Mizo Robert who got the equaliser for the prosperity Boys after going a goal behind in the encounter.

Boyed by that away point Bayelsa United will hope to get a home win against Enugu Rangers who themselves have not really had a good season.

Abdul Maikaba's tutored side, Enugu Rangers will be full of confident coming into the game after recording a victory in their last home match against Doma United of Gombe sees them in seventh  position with eight points.

The pressure will certainly be on the home side Bayelsa United after a run of no win at home in their last two matches and lying bottom of group B while For the Flying Antelopes, a draw will certainly be a good point for them as they seek to continue their resurgence towards the top of the table.

It's not been the best start for both teams so far but it sure promise to be an entertaining encounter as they seek to end they first round on a winning note.

The leadership of Umuahia North Stakeholders Forum has called on the Mayor of Umuahia North LGA, Hon. High-Chief Victor Ikeji, Ph.D ( Kpakpando-Umuahia), to run for the local government chairmanship position in the forthcoming local government polls in Abia State. Speaking on behalf of the group, Chief Arthur Nwamara said, the group came to this conclusion after evaluating the performance of the Mayor since his appointment by Gov. Alex Otti.

The People of Umuyota Autonomous Community in Umuawa-Alaocha, Ohuhu, Umuahia North LGA has reacted to a press release purportedly signed by one imposter named Chikamara Metuh. In a press release signed by Mr. Bright Udeh the Youth President of the Umuokarafor Community, the community where both Mr. Adimchinobi Abraham and High Chief Sonny Uwakwe Nlewedim hails from has advised  members of the public to disregard the so-called press release trying to present the emergence of Chief Sonny Nlewedim as the Eze-Elect of Umuyota Autonomous Community in dispute. According to Mr Udeh "I am the youth president of Umuokarafor, who was unanimously elected by the entire youths of Umuokarafor, Mr. Chikamara Metuh, is not a youth president, nor an executive in Umuokarafor or Umuyota".

Chief Sunny Nlewed...
