In an intriguing development, reports have surfaced indicating that Nwankwo Kanu, the esteemed former captain of the Super Eagles, is poised to assume the role of chairman at Enyimba, the illustrious Nigeria Premier League champions.
This news comes on the heels of the dissolution of the previous board by the Abia State Government earlier this week.
The reins of Enyimba had been skillfully managed by Felix Anyansi-Agwu, who steered the team for an impressive 23 years. Under his astute leadership, the Aba giants secured a remarkable nine NPL titles and triumphed twice in the CAF Champions League.
Sources emanating from Umuahia, the capital of Abia State, reveal that Kanu, a former Premier League victor, has been earmarked for this prestigious position.
As Enyimba gears up for their forthcoming campaign in the CAF Champions League, this potential appointment adds an extra layer of excitement to their journey ahead.
