Mounting frustration among supporters of Enyimba FC has triggered fresh calls for drastic action against club chairman Kanu Nwankwo, as the Nigerian giants struggle with poor results and fears of decline in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
Recent reports indicate that fans have warned the club hierarchy over its deteriorating performance, urging urgent improvement to prevent further decline and possible relegation concerns.
The unrest follows a string of disappointing performances that have left supporters increasingly disillusioned with the club’s direction under Kanu’s leadership. Critics argue the team’s fortunes have “plummeted” since his appointment in 2023, with some supporters openly questioning his administrative ability and urging him to step down if he cannot reverse the slide.
Fan dissatisfaction is not new. Several supporters have publicly expressed disappointment, accusing the former Super Eagles captain of failing to meet expectations and restore the club’s former dominance.
Enyimba, Nigeria’s most successful club historically, built its reputation on multiple domestic titles and continental success, including two CAF Champions League triumphs. However, recent inconsistency has sparked fears among fans that the club’s legacy is under threat.
Kanu, who assumed office with high expectations, has previously appealed for patience, stressing that rebuilding the club is a long-term project requiring structural reforms and sustained support.
The growing tension highlights the pressure on the club’s leadership to deliver immediate improvement, with supporters increasingly vocal about their demands as Enyimba fight to stabilise their season and restore confidence among fans.
