Expressing his joy at receiving the accolade, Erambo credited his teammates for their support and acknowledged the fans’ initiative in recognizing players’ efforts.

“I am delighted to be awarded this great honour. I want to thank the fans for their initiative because it will spur us as players to do better.

“I also want to thank my teammates because I wouldn’t have done well without their support. Also much thanks to the coaches for their support always,” Erambo told Tusker Media.

The fans’ Player of the Month award marks a new initiative aimed at acknowledging the best-performing players every month.
