Barrister added that there is no going back in their determination to ensure that Nigeria football teams do well in all the international competitions they have qualified for, sports247.ng learns.
Speaking in Uyo after the Akwa Ibom State FA elections, the re-elected Lagos FA Chairman cum Legal luminary said ” There is no crime making allegations as long as you can justify it. If you don’t justify it, be ready for the repercussion. Many allegations have been made, none have been proven, as far as we are a concern, we will continue to forge ahead.
“The allegation always coming before a major tournament like the World Cup and the African Cup of Nations is aimed at distracting us but we have vowed not to be distracted of any allegations. If we are called to give an explanation on any allegation, we will avail ourselves but all of these allegations are fabricated falsehood against the federation.”
According to Favour Itua who made the news available to newsmen on Wednesday said Akinwunmi expressed delight and satisfaction to host Six teams that will be converging in Lagos to know who emerge champions of the Nigeria professional football league 2018/2019 season.
According to him, “We are ready to host, you know Lagos is the centre of excellence and I’m grateful to the League Management Company for the choice of Lagos State as the centre for Super Six.”
He, however, assured Nigerians that with the revolution in the football sector, Nigeria will witness all teams doing well in international competitions in the next ten years.
