In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu hailed Remo Stars’ historic success. He described their triumph, just four years after gaining promotion to the top flight, as a testament to the hard work, discipline, and resilience of the players, coaching crew, and management.
