Remo Stars are close to winning their first NPFL title after Rivers United lost to Kano Pillars, with standout performances from Ahmed Musa and Rabiu Ali.

Remo Stars are on the brink of securing their first-ever Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title after a pivotal match on April 25, 2025. Rivers United faced a 2-0 defeat against Kano Pillars at the Sani Abacha Stadium, a result that significantly bolstered Remo Stars` title aspirations.

Former Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa broke the deadlock in the 64th minute, followed by a penalty from veteran midfielder Rabiu Ali in the 75th minute, marking his 12th goal of the season. This victory not only handed Kano Pillars a crucial win but also extended Remo Stars` lead at the top of the league to seven points, with only 12 points remaining in the season.

With Rivers United now trailing by seven points, Remo Stars need just one more victory to secure an unassailable lead. Their next match against Niger Tornadoes at home in Ikenne could potentially crown them champions. Meanwhile, Bendel Insurance is also in the mix, looking to secure maximum points against Plateau United to keep their continental qualification hopes alive. The NPFL season is reaching its climax, with Remo Stars poised to make history.
