A new twist may have been introduced into the battle for supremacy between the Club Owners an Chairmen of the NPFL on one hand, and the LMC, following the rumors of a meeting being organised in Ilorin by the Minister for Sports, Bolaji Abdullahi.

The meeting, which is scheduled to hold on Monday, 22nd of April, and will have in attendance: Commissioners for Sports from all the states of the Federation, the Minister himself, and Nduka Irabor, is supposed to be used by the Minister to sell the LMC to the Commissioners.

Rumours

There have been rumors that the Interim League Committee, who registered the LMC, are being controlled by the Sports Minister, and that is why the chairman of the IMC, Nduka Irabor has been going about the business of running the League without consulting the clubs.

At the said meeting, Irabor will explain to the commissioners the benefits of allowing the LMC to have full, unrestricted powers in running the League.

Reactions

After the general meeting, there will then be another, that will involve only the Commissioners of the 18 states that have teams in the NPFL.

It is not yet clear what the reactions of the Commissioners will be to this idea, since the IMC was originally constituted to midwife the transition from the Rumson Baribote Board, to a new one.
