History
Before the 2008-09 season there was a brief power struggle for the chairman position that saw Shehu Gusau sacked and then retained and even arrested. They retained their place in the top league by two goals on the final day of the season thanks to an unbelievable 9-0 victory over Kaduna United FC. They were relegated to the National Second Division in 2011 after a five-year stay in the Premier League.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
