Rafiu Ladipo, President General of the Nigeria football and other sports supporters club (NFSC) has reiterated his desire to reunite the various factions of the club in order to achieve better efficiency and success with the once united NFSC now separated with each faction, having different names and leadership.
The new clubs of the NFSC included the Authentic Nigeria Football Supporters Club, the Nigeria Eagles Supporters Club among others.
He revealed his discontent over the seeming disunity in the club, with a call on all factions to return as one big family in order to be more coordinated and effective citing Ladipo the successful reunion of about 72 supporters club in Ghana as key in replicating the same in Nigeria as the pioneer chairman of the club.
“We know what the supporters club was in the past, we were united, we were a family, but now some people just want to be the leader, it’s not easy for everyone to be the leader, you have to be patient,” he said.
“We have been making efforts to unite the Nigeria supporters club, I just pray they will see reasons on the need to come back and be one united family if I can go to Ghana to unite 72 supporters club, I don’t see why I shouldn’t try to unite the six groups here in Nigeria,” he said.
Ladipo posited that as president general, he was not involved in the day to day running of the club in Nigeria or any other country, but they reported their activities to him for proper coordination as he has been the one mainly sourcing for funds to run the club and ensuring the Super Eagles got the needed support in the last 30 years.
