It was gathered that Kanu, 46, was appointed as the Peoples’ Elephant’s new boss by the Abia State Government led by Governor Alex Otti, which dissolved the club’s former board last week.
The announcement of Kanu Nwankwo’s appointment came in the early hours of Sunday, June 2nd, 2023, marking the end of Felix Anyasi’s remarkable 24-year tenure in the position.
Felix, who leaves behind a legacy as a revered figure in Enyimba since his appointment as Chairman in 1999, has received well-deserved recognition for his outstanding contributions to the club’s successes.
