Abdul Maikaba has declared that Wikki Tourists will not throw in the towel in the title race of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) this season.
Wikki hurled themselves into the title race on Sunday following a 1-0 victory over Rivers United at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium, Bauchi on Sunday.
Maikaba, the head coach of Wikki, believes the win over the Port Harcourt club on Sunday is the catalyst that will propel his side to unlikely success in the NPFL.
“We had planned to score (early) but also knew we could score at any time (during the game).
“My boys were patient and continued putting pressure on the opponents.
“Wikki still has the chance to win the league because mathematically, with two matches to go, we still have a chance as we are just three points behind the leaders, Enugu Rangers.
“We have a better goals difference compared to Rangers so if they lose an away game, we will be tied with them on points but we need to win our last two matches,” he told RIVERS UNITED MEDIA.
Wikki Tourists will face Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) in Ibadan in their penultimate league of the season on September 25 before rounding off their campaign with a fixture against Sunshine Stars in Bauchi on October 2.
The Bauchi club is currently in third place on the NPFL standings with 54 points from 34 matches
