Abubakar Bukola Saraki FC is a Nigerian association football club from Ilorin, Nigeria. They were promoted to the Nigeria Premier League at the end of the 2009–10 season. They played their debut season's home games in Offa and Bauchi while the Kwara State Stadium was being renovated. They were put up for sale in July 2011 and bought by outgoing Kwara State governor Bukola Saraki for 250,000,000 naira, making them and JUTH F.C. the only Premier League teams that are not state-owned.[1]
