The Chairman of Nigerian Football Association (NFA) has been having a
running battle with his Vice Chairman who is also the Chairman of the Nigeria
Football League (NFL), Chief Obaseki since the commencement of their regime
as leaders of the Association after the unceremoniuos departure of Alhaji Galadima.
It's so unfortunate that things have to be like this in our football circle.
How we got to this disgraceful level with our soccer is yet to be explained.
But we should all realise that the problem really is that of ego and nothing else.
Either man sees himself as bigger than the other guy.And for this reason they will
not bend for eachother even when all of us are negatively affected by their unnecessary
rivalry.
The simple case of placement of referee for a football match was made a show of as if it
is much morew than that.
I personally feel that the matter goes beyond these men. There is more to their incessant
wrangling than meet the eye.
These are two men who were together when they wanted to drive away the regime of their predecessors.
Alhaji Galadima was trying his best to get the desired autonomy for the NFA frrom the
excessive government control of football which many officials of the then Ministry of Sports
were not happy about hence his send-off from the Association.
The President himself should come into this matter and make our football grow.
Somebody should be bold enough to cut off Amos Adamu's excesses in the house of football.
This guy is going beyond his place in the Sports Commission.
Let's have an orderly NFA just as we have a peaceful NFL.
Lulu ands Obaseki should please give us some degree of peace and harmony.
Football is run else where and we hardly know their internal wranglings.
Let's keep our house in order.
Sikirulai Olukayode Kazeem.
