The captain of Wikki Tourists, Muhammed Guda, has issued a formal apology and a promise of improvement to the club’s loyal supporters following a disappointing sequence of results in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
The Bauchi-based “Big Elephants” currently find themselves in a precarious position, having failed to secure a single victory in their last five league outings. This poor run of form has caused the team to slide to 14th place in the standings, where they sit with 22 points—narrowly hovering just one point above the relegation threshold.
Guda utilized a written address to the fans to emphasize the squad’s collective hunger to rectify their current trajectory. He stressed that the players and the technical crew are working in unison to correct tactical errors and rediscover the winning mentality that defined their earlier performances. Despite the mounting pressure, the skipper maintains that the motivation within the locker room remains high as they enter a critical phase of the season.
“Every match is a chance for us to give our best, and we recognize that we haven’t been able to make you proud in recent games,” Guda wrote in a letter to the club’s supporters. “We want to assure you that we are fully committed to turning things around. We are working tirelessly to analyze what went wrong and to make the necessary improvements. Our players and coaching staff are motivated to bounce back stronger than ever.”
The urgency for a turnaround reaches a peak this weekend as Wikki Tourists travel to Port Harcourt to face Rivers United. This away fixture represents a daunting challenge for the Bauchi side, as they must overcome a disciplined opponent to claw their way back up the NPFL table. Guda’s public commitment serves as a rallying cry for the squad to deliver a performance that justifies the faith of their followers and secures their safety in the top flight.
