President Bola Tinubu has felicitated Rangers International FC on their historic triumph in the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League season.
Tinubu hailed the Enugu-based side for securing a record ninth league title in a campaign that has rekindled memories of the club’s glorious past and reaffirmed its place in Nigerian football history.
In a statement issued by the Presidency on May 25, 2026, through his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu praised the club’s managers, players, and supporters after they finished top of the league table with 68 points from 38 matches, edging out closest challengers Rivers United FC in a tightly contested title race.

In his message, Tinubu recalled the club’s dominant era in the 1970s and 1980s, when they were one of Africa’s most formidable teams, during which Rangers won multiple domestic league and FA Cup titles, reached the finals of the African Cup of Champions Clubs in 1975, and went on to win the African Cup Winners’ Cup in 1977—achievements that cemented their legacy on the continental stage.
