Kun Khalifat FC President and CEO, Michael Chukwudi Amaefula, has paid glowing tribute to the club’s departing attacker, Henry Ezeonye and two others, describing them as a cornerstone of the club’s growth and success.

Speaking on behalf of the entire Kun Khalifat FC family,

Amaefula expressed deep appreciation for Ezeonye’s unwavering dedication, passion and commitment to the Imo State-based club.

Amaefula noted that Ezeonye was part of the club’s journey from its formative years, stressing that his impact on the team was both profound and lasting. The forward played a pivotal role in the club’s historic promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), a feat the president said would remain permanently etched in the club’s history.

Beyond his on-field exploits, Ezeonye was praised for his leadership qualities and influence within the dressing room. According to the Kun Khalifat president, the attacker was more than just a player, serving as a mentor, leader and dependable friend to many within the squad, thereby embodying the true spirit of the club.

He  also paid glowing tributes to the duo of Ebuka Nwokorie and Uche Moses, celebrating their immense contributions and lasting impact on the club’s remarkable journey.

In a heartfelt message released on behalf of the KKFC family, the club expressed pride, gratitude and deep appreciation as both players move on to new chapters in their careers.

Nwokorie was hailed as more than just a player, but the heartbeat and rhythm of Kun Khalifat FC’s midfield. Renowned for his intelligence, artistry and authority in the middle of the park, Ebuka’s pinpoint passes, timely tackles, decisive assists and memorable goals defined an era for the club.

His influence was central to KKFC’s historic promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League and his subsequent Premier League debut, milestones that will forever be etched in the club’s history.

The club also acknowledged the invaluable service of Uche Moses, praising his dedication, discipline, passion and exemplary team spirit. Uche’s consistent work ethic and commitment were described as instrumental to the team’s progress, with his growth and professionalism standing as a shining example to teammates and supporters alike throughout his time at the club.

The three players are said to be on the radar of NPFL debutants, Barau FC.
