Plateau United head coach Gbenga Ogunbote has urged fans to remain patient and continue supporting the team as they navigate the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League season. The Peace Boys recorded their first victory of the campaign on Sunday, defeating Kwara United 1-0 in a Matchday 2 clash at the New Jos Stadium. Sam Pam netted the decisive goal just 10 minutes into the second half, securing all three points for the home side. This win marks a positive start to the season after a difficult opening match.
Ogunbote emphasized that the team’s performance is still evolving and called on supporters to stay committed through both highs and lows. He told the club’s media that fans should “continue to believe in us during the soft and difficult times of the season.” The coach expressed confidence that the players’ hard work will yield results by the end of the campaign. “They will definitely be proud of our hard work at the end of the 2026-27 season,” he added, reinforcing his belief in the squad’s potential.
The victory over Kwara United was a significant boost for Plateau United, who had struggled in their season opener. The win not only lifted their spirits but also improved their position in the league standings. Playing in front of their home crowd at the New Jos Stadium, the team showed resilience and determination, qualities Ogunbote hopes will define their season. His message to fans reflects a broader strategy of building consistency and trust between the club and its supporters.
Looking ahead, Plateau United will face Niger Tornadoes in their Matchday 3 fixture this weekend. The game will take place in Minna, where the Peace Boys will aim to extend their winning streak and gain momentum early in the season. Ogunbote’s emphasis on patience and perseverance underscores the club’s long-term vision, even as immediate results are being sought. The coach remains focused on developing a competitive and cohesive unit capable of challenging for top positions.
As the NPFL season progresses, Plateau United’s performance will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. The team’s ability to maintain form and adapt under pressure will determine their success. With Ogunbote at the helm and growing support from the fanbase, the Peace Boys are aiming for a strong campaign. Their journey in the 2026/27 season could set the foundation for future achievements in Nigerian football.
