Staying in a club for a very long time is what some people term as loyalty and maybe becoming a legend and for Abdulrasheed Abiodun Awoyemi, it’s been a splendid number of years with Remo Stars and he’s proud of the feat they have achieved.
The former captain of the club has spent 11 years at the club though with a mixture of short transfer spells in between and he’s experienced enough to be able to say “the NNL is not a league” as regards them getting relegated 3 years ago and the experience was difficult.
“I’m very happy to gain promotion for the club. I was in Gateway United last season but the chairman called me before the start of the just-concluded season, telling me I needed to come back to the club to help balance and assist in gaining promotion,” Rasheed said.
“We were not happy being relegated to the NNL seasons ago because the NNL is not a league, it was a disaster back then and we’re happy to have made it back to the NPFL,” he added.
Speaking already in respect to the new season ahead and the quality of players at their disposal, Rasheed told Sports247 “our aim this season is to make the fans, management, and coaches happy. I’m promising them that we would not relegate and by the end of the season, we’ll have one of the continental tickets and make them proud.”
“Looking at the team right now, they are very young with a lot of passion and energy and now they have the experience of playing with top players, have an idea of how the Nigerian league is and I’m so happy being around them and especially the coach Dan Ogunmodede who taught me a lot of things and I’m grateful to him,” Rasheed concluded.
