Gov. Ahmed urged to wade into crisis at Kwara Utd

Date: 2013-08-02

The fans and supporters of Kwara United FC of Ilorin have called on Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara to urgently intervene in the looming crisis in the club.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) learnt that the crisis in the club is in connection with the quest for control of the club's finances.

A cross-section of the fans noted that if the crisis was not nipped in the bud, it might negatively affect the performance of the club in the ongoing Globacom Premier League (GPL).

"So far, the club is making waves in the league and it is among the top four," one of the fans said.

The management board of the club, led by Bamidele Aluko, was reportedly queried recently by a `Fact-Finding Committee', set up by the state government to look into the finances of the club.

The query, according to an insider, who pleaded anonymity, was as a result of wrangling among the board members, over some funds released to the team.

The source also said that the committee, headed by Toyin Sanusi, the Chief of Staff, Government House, consequently stripped the board of the control of the finances of the team and assumed responsibility.

Other members of the committee included the Commissioners for Works and Transport; Finance; Sports and Youth Development, as well as the club's accountant.

Meanwhile, another management team, headed by the Team Manager, Ibrahim Basambo, along with the Technical Adviser, Samson Unuanel, the accountant and the club's secretary were said to be handling the day-to-day running of the club.

However, yet another management team, headed by the Special Assistant on Sports to Gov. Ahmed, Toyin Olokooba, was said to have sprang up with some loyal members of the club, staff and the executive members of the Supporters' Club, under his control.

Meanwhile, there are fears that the League Management Company (LMC) might sanction the team if they are able to establish some undue interference by government officials in the day-to-day running of the team.

Olayioye Ajide, the Media Officer of the club, told NAN on Thursday in Ilorin that the situation was, however, under control.

He said that there was no club in the world that did not experience one form of challenge or the other at a time, saying that people should stop exaggerating the situation.

Ajide acknowledged that the club was currently being overseen by the Ministry of Sports and Youth Development, in conjunction with the club's management board. He added that the collaboration had been yielding good results.
