The "People’s Elephant" is in deep trouble. Fans of Enyimba FC are calling for the club's chairman, legendary footballer Kanu Nwankwo, to step down.
Once the kings of Nigerian football, the team is now struggling near the bottom of the league, and supporters have reached their breaking point.
Enyimba is currently in 14th place—a shockingly low position for a team that has won the league nine times. Fans say they have never seen the club perform this poorly.
There is massive confusion over who is in charge. The state government recently named a new coach and sporting director, even though Kanu had already appointed different people to those same roles.
The state government is investigating what happened to the $1 million prize money the club received in 2023. Meanwhile, players are protesting because they haven't been paid their allowances.
Some fans at the stadium were so upset they threatened to attack the chairman if the situation doesn't improve immediately.
