Stay Strong, Taiwo: Governor AbdulRazaq Leads Home-State Support for Injured Super Eagle

Date: 2025-05-15

As the global football community rallies in support, heartfelt prayers continue for Nigerian Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi, who remains in an induced coma recovering from a severe abdominal injury sustained during a Premier League match against Leicester City on 11 May 2025.

Among the most poignant expressions of solidarity came from his home state of Kwara, where Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq-also Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF)-released a statement expressing unwavering support:

"Awoniyi is more than just a footballer - he is a proud son of Kwara State who continues to give back generously to the community that raised him.

His unwavering connection to home is inspiring, and we look forward to seeing him return to the pitch stronger than ever.

Get well soon, dear brother and valued citizen. Kwara stands with you."

The 27-year-old striker, known for his strength and work ethic, suffered the injury after a collision with the post while chasing a cross.

Emergency surgery was performed shortly after, but complications during the procedure led medical staff to place him in a medically induced coma to stabilize his condition.

Nottingham Forest officials have confirmed that Awoniyi is "recovering well" and is under close medical supervision.

A beloved figure both in Nigeria and abroad, Awoniyi has always worn his roots with pride. Born and raised in Ilorin, Kwara State, he has consistently supported youth initiatives, football development programs, and charitable causes back home - making him a symbol of hope and humility for many.

From Ilorin to London, from the Premier League to the streets of Kwara, the message remains the same: Taiwo Awoniyi is not alone.

He is Kwara's pride, and Nigeria's fighter - and the world is praying for his full and speedy recovery.
