The coach dismissed any notion of psychological pressure impacting his team during the fiercely contested title race, highlighting his calm and focused demeanour throughout the campaign.

“I was never under any pressure. The only pressure I feel is the personal desire to keep improving myself every day. That’s what drives me, not fear of failure,” he affirmed.

Ogunmodede was quick to credit the strong collaborative spirit within the club for its success, emphasising the important roles played by everyone involved.

“This is a team sport. Everyone played their role. The club president invested and stayed patient, the management did a great job, my assistants and backroom staff worked tirelessly, the players gave everything, and the fans stood by us. It was a full team effort,” he explained.

He also acknowledged the title's significance for the local community, stating that the people of Ikenne and Ogun State deserved to share in the immense pride of this milestone achievement.

Turning his attention to the prospect of continental competition, Ogunmodede remained grounded, refusing to be drawn into premature discussions about Remo Stars' chances in the CAF tournaments.

“I don’t want to talk about the continent now. We still have three matches to complete in the league, and that’s my focus for now,” he said.

When questioned about potential fellow continental representatives from the NPFL, Ogunmodede maintained his focus on his team.

“I only focus on my team. But from the table, Rivers United, Abia Warriors, Katsina United and Enyimba are all in the mix. I haven’t really analysed the possibilities yet,” he admitted.

Ogunmodede also expressed his surprise and gratitude towards Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen for his generous donation of N10 million to the Remo Stars squad and staff as a token of appreciation for their hard work.

“I was surprised, of course. For a player of his calibre to take time out of his busy schedule and even offer financial motivation to my players is huge, the best striker in the world right now,” he said,

Ogunmodede and his newly crowned champions, Remo Stars, travelled to Maiduguri on Wednesday for a matchday 35 encounter against El Kanemi Warriors as the NPFL season approaches its conclusion.
