Shorunmu Blames Overconfidence for Abia Warriors’ Late NPFL Collapse
Ike Shorunmu, former Super Eagles goalkeeper and current Abia Warriors goalkeeper coach, has explained why the team slipped out of the top three in the 2025/2026 NPFL season. Abia Warriors spent most of the campaign in third or fourth place but finished seventh with 55 points after heavy defeats to Kun Khalifat and Warri Wolves. Shorunmu pointed to overconfidence, poor attitude and a lack of attacking firepower as the main reasons behind the collapse. The club suspended head coach Imama Amapakabo and assistant Bethel Orji before Shorunmu took interim charge. He believes the lessons learned will be the foundation for rebuilding ahead of the next season.
