The Aba Elephants who drew goalless with Sunshine Stars FC of Akure on Sunday at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos amassed 70 points from 38 matches to emerge champions.
Enyimba, thus took over from Kano Pillars Football Club which won the title for three consecutive seasons.
Warri Wolves, Giwa FC of Jos and Wikki Tourists FC of Bauchi also emerged second, third and fourth respectively while the quartet of Kwara United, Sharks of Port Harcourt, FC Taraba and Bayelsa United got relegated to the Nigeria National League.
Globacom, in a statement issued in Lagos on Monday congratulated the players, coaches and management of Enyinmba FC for their hard work and determination which propelled the team from the middle of the table which it occupied for most part of the first stanza to winning the Glo Premier League title.
The company admonished the team to make football loving Nigerians happy by going all out to win the next CAF Champions League again like that they did back to back in 2003 and 2004.
“We wish to congratulate the LMC for its out- standing organisation of the league. We urge them to keep the flag flying,” the statement added.
“We also wish to congratulate the players, club officials, match officials and fans for their collective efforts that made the season to witness little or no hitches,” Globacom stated further.
Meanwhile, chairman of Enyimba, Felix Anyansi Agwu has dismissed reports that claimed he has thrown in the towel as chairman of the club.
Anyansi said yesterday that he remains chairman of the team as he did not tender any resignation letter to the Abia state government, owners of the club.
