Stop Dictating To Us From Diaspora  - Stakeholders warns Col Sam Ahmedu


Akinkunle Bolarinwa 


The imbroglio in Nigeria's Basketball is about to rear its ugly head again with stakeholders calling on one board member of the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF) to stop enabling too much powers to himself. 


The stakeholders under the name Basketball Interest Group (BIG) have called on basketball lovers to disregard any directives given by Col. Sam Ahmadu.


Since his relocation to the United States of America, Col. Ahmedu has been accused of atrociously melding in the affairs of the basketball body in Nigeria from abroad. 


According to the stakeholders, if Col. Sam is still interested in participating in the decision making of the nation's basketball body then he should return back to the country. 


The group advised Col. Sam to stop inciting people against the board of the Nigeria Basketball Federation. 


They argued that, technically Col. Sam ought to vacate his position as a board member since he is no longer resident in Nigeria.


It was alleged that Col. Sam has turned his back on the leadership of the NBBF headed by Mallam Musa Kida.

  Akinkunle Bolarinwa  Executive Board Member of the Ondo State Football Association, Dr. Babatunde 'Tee' Akinbinu has advised State Football Associations Chairmen in Nigeria to borrow the template for football development exemplified by Ekiti State Football Association in the last three and half years. "The reason why Ekiti State FA works and looks so beautiful is because Mr Bayo Lanlege the Ekiti FA chairman threw his hat in the ring and is leading from the front on matters of football development in Ekiti State without any subvention funding from the Government of Ekiti State." The sagacious Sports Physician asserts that Nigeria needs pragmatic leadership to lead the new path for football development.  "It is a huge irony that I am in Ondo and he is in Ekiti, really.
