Bukola Babes was the founding name of this great club, before it was fully taken over by his excellency Sen.Abubakar Bukola Saraki in 2011, however the founder was Mall,Abdul who then closely work with the governor , he was assisted by Mr, Ukpi .

Coach Festus Allen was contacted  as the substantive coach of the team. 

The trains at the pitch of Kwara Hotels. 

The first official game of Bukola BabesFC  was At Gamo,an outskirt of Ilorin on the 4th of August,2004 , against  SS AJAO,,, the game ended  in a barren draw. 

The team later participated in the Governor's cup representing Ekiti LG. 

They lost out in the  semi finals. Coach Allen left for Ranch Bees, Kaduna.

The Founder Mall, Abdul brought in coach Daniel Aware  to fill in the vacuum,....

Coach Daniel Azare brought coach Kabiru Dogo to assist  him. 

They won the state FA cup. 

Under coach Daniel Azare, ABS later qualify for the Nationwide 2,later  div One in 2008.

Coach Festus Allen  returned  back to BukolaBabes, where the team promoted to the NNL,

coach Patrick Awaja was brought in 2009/2010 season, as results  were not forth coming, Coach Festus Allen  was saddled with the responsibility to take over the team and Bukola Babes was promoted to the Premier division. 

Under the Indefatigable  *GM* Alloy Chukwuemeka, his administrative acumen brought out the best in both coaches and players to achieve this feat. 

Bukola Babes played their debut match at Offa stadium, against  Zandra Utd,  it ended  in 0-0.

The second game was against  Enyimba,, Bukola Babes won 1-0  scored by Audu.

The NPFL  complained about the turf, that it wasn't  good for Premiership standard,  so the next available  venue was Minna, Niger state.

Bukola Babes engaged Enugu Rangers,  the game ended unfavour of Bukola Babes.

The last game played in Minna, was against  Gombe Utd which ended infavour of Bukola Babes  3-2 ,,this match was beamed live by Super sports. 

Bukola Babes were again banned from playing on Bako Kotangora stadium, Minna, because  the pitch wasn't television  friendly,,  That was how we found ourselves  in Bauchi,, Bukola Babes were being tagged as a *Nomadic* team. 

Reasons for this movements ,because Kwara  stadium  was being expanded,even our sister club Kwara United choose Ijebu-Ode stadium as their home. 

In summary, His excellency  took over the club  in July, 2011 and changed the name from Bukola Babes to *Abubakar Bukola Suraki football club*

However , *ABS FC* is club that has the templates for players and coaches to achieve  their goals.
