All the teams chasing front runners, Remo Stars, all stumbled on Wednesday evening as the Nigeria Professional League enters 25 in projected 28 match days.
It means Remo Stars will still retain their top position on Thursday night irrespective of their match-day 25 duel with visiting Kwara United.
Second-placed Shooting Stars failed in a bid to drastically narrow the gap separating the legacy outfits as they only managed to force a 2-2 draw in their home game with Lobi Stars.
Enugu Rangers, who were initially in the third position, tumbled down the ladder to the sixth position after a 1-0 loss to Abia Warriors.
In the aftermath, Abia Warriors, with 39 points, climbed to the fourth position. Rivers United, though back in the third position, could have had a quantum leap had they not dropped points in their duel with Akwa United.
They had shot into the lead in the 9th minute of their away match with Akwa United when Paschal Onunza found the net. But in the 57th minute, Akwa United battling against relegation levelled up through Mare Abson.
