Former Sunshine Stars captain, Sunday Abe is optimistic on the chances of the club to avoid relegation from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) this season.
The Owena Waves are winless in their last four NPFL matches.
Bala Abubakar’s side currently occupy 19th position on the log.
Despite their precarious position in the table, Abe is adamant that the club will maintain their top-flight status at the end of the season.
“It’s painful to see the team in this mess, but let’s be honest – it’s not surprising. The performances this season have been well below standard, and the results reflect that,” Abe told Flashscore.
“We’re 19th because we haven’t done enough, plain and simple. Sentiment won’t save us. If things don’t change fast, relegation is inevitable. relegation to the National League would be a huge disaster, and we must fight to avoid that outcome at all costs.
“Personally, I’m still hopeful we can avoid relegation, as we’ve been in this situation the last four seasons and managed to get out each time. However, we can’t keep going down this path. Change is needed urgently.”
