Supporters' Clubs Disown Fake Coalition in Nigeria
Five major supporters' clubs in Nigeria, represented by Rev. Samuel Ikpea (NFSC), Prince Vincent Okumagba (SESC), Ambassador Kemi Ogunfuwa (FFCN), Barr. Johnson Dagana (ASSC), and Hon. Sunny Gullong (NESC), have publicly distanced themselves from the "Coalition For Sports Stakeholders Rights." They claim this coalition, purportedly led by Alhaji Kolawole Akinsanya, is an illegal and fake organization.
The supporters' clubs assert that the coalition is not registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) under the Companies and Allied Matters Act, 2020, rendering it a non-legal entity incapable of representing stakeholders. They emphasize the need for transparency and integrity, demanding inclusion in the reform process and a review of the NFF Statutes to ensure proper representation and rights for supporters' clubs.
The statement was released on Wednesday in Abuja.
