Boboye, who joined the Warriors at the beginning of this season, took the league by storm and emerged as the Manager of the Month of February following Abia Warriors explosive start, which saw them become first team in the Nigerian top flight to go 10 matches unbeaten from the beginning of the season
Abia Warriors are 15th on the Nigeria elite division log with 36 points from 29 games despite making a blistering start in the first half of the season.
“I wish to inform you that I have resigned as coach of Abia Warriors after due consultation with my family,” Boboye disclosed
Chief INyama said: “Boboye is still under a legal contract with us, so I don’t know where these rumours of him leaving the club is coming from. As we speak now, he has been released to the Super Eagles as a member of the interim committee to take charge of Nigeria’s International friendly games against Mali and Luxembourg after which he would come back to manage Abia Warriors for the second phase of the League
The Nigeria Football Federation technical Sub-committee made the recommendation to the Executive Committee of the Federation after several hours of deliberation
Boboye edged a field of managers in Fidelis Ilechukwu of MFM FC, Godwin Uwua of Lobi Stars and Mohammed Baba Ganaru of Kano Pillars
For the manager’s award, Boboye was always clear favourite to pick the prize after Sunshine Stars finished the month under review in style without losing a game and amassing 10 points out of the 12 available
