A Permanent Secretary in the Bayelsa State Ministry of Sports,
Dr. Peter Singabele, has said that the league would end honourably
if the board of the Nigeria Football League (NFL) would put
their feet down and follow the laid down rules in the two
remaining matches of the season.
Speaking to Leaguemania in Calabar, Singabele said he has
been satisfied with the way the NFL has been making our league
better, but warned that some unscrupulous elements had remained
in the plot to discredit some clubs.
He, however, cautioned club officials to pursue their dream
with dignity because those who enter through the backdoor
would always be thrown out through the same door.
"I am happy with the way the league is coming to an end,
but the sad thing is that some clubs have become so desperate.
If a team want to win the league shield, they have to start
from day one, not when the chips are down.
"The NFL in their wisdom should monitor the two remaining
matches closely to ensure that nothing funny would happen
at the end of the day because we are tired of having champions
who eventually end up as whipping boys in the continent. If
the real champions emerge by the end of the day, everybody
will be happy, but when you have fakes coming out as champions
it is misery all the way.
