Daddy Abdulrahman, midfielder for El-Kanemi Warriors, is setting his sights on the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) top scorer award as the season enters its final stretch. With 10 goals in 33 league appearances under coach Kabiru Dogo, Abdulrahman is currently two goals behind Ikorodu City’s Joseph Arumala, who leads the scoring charts with 12 goals. The former Shooting Stars player is confident he can close the gap and finish the season as the league’s leading marksman.
Abdulrahman expressed his excitement about being among the top scorers, noting that this is the first time in his career he has reached such a goal tally in the NPFL. Speaking to NPFL.com.ng, he emphasized his determination to improve his performance in the remaining matches. “I feel very excited to be among the top scorers because this is the first season I have scored this many goals in the league,” he said.
He acknowledged the two-goal deficit to Arumala but remained optimistic about his chances. “Yes, my target is to score more goals. You know the gap between me and the top scorers is two goals. I will try my best to improve the number of my goals,” he added. Abdulrahman believes he can net two, three, or even five more goals before the campaign ends, depending on divine favor. “Anyone God allows me get, I will accept it,” he stated with faith and resolve.
The NPFL season is approaching its climax, and every match could be decisive for individual accolades and team standings. Abdulrahman’s pursuit of the top scorer title adds a personal dimension to El-Kanemi Warriors’ campaign, as the team also competes for a strong finish in the league table. His consistent performances have made him a key player for the Maiduguri-based side, and his goal-scoring form has drawn attention from fans and analysts alike.
As the season winds down, the race for the golden boot remains tightly contested. With several matches left, Abdulrahman’s ambition to surpass Arumala and claim the top scorer’s prize is both realistic and inspiring. His journey from a midfielder known more for creativity to a goal-scoring threat highlights his adaptability and hunger for success. The coming weeks will determine whether he can achieve his dream and etch his name in NPFL history.
