Obiekwu Praises Refereeing Overhaul Elevating NPFL Competition

Former Nigeria defender Kingsley Obiekwu has applauded recent improvements in officiating across the Nigeria Premier Football League. He says more consistent and fair refereeing decisions have strengthened the league’s credibility and competitiveness this season. According to Obiekwu, clubs are now winning more often away from home, showcasing a healthier balance in match outcomes. He believes the league management deserves credit for these positive changes. On the NPFL title race, Obiekwu likens the battle between Rangers and Rivers United to the Arsenal–Manchester City duel in England. He rates Rangers as favourites but warns that the remaining two fixtures will ultimately decide the championship.
