Scandal! NSC in criminal deception of the Nigerian public

-->

Bolaji Abdullahi, Sports minister...new explanations for this fraud?

*Communique of National Council of Sports prepared 12 days before meeting

We can reveal that the 19^th National Council of Sports meeting that took place for almost a week is afterall a grand project to pilfer the tax payer’s monies, deceive the Nigerian public and make Nigerians believe that it was the genuine interest of Nigerian sports that was discussed and agreed at the meeting.

A four-page communiqué was issued supposedly at the end of the meeting. www.gongnews.net can also reveal that all the said decisions in the released communiqué were pre-determined. The Directors of Sports from the 36 states and FCT were rather pawns in the chess board of the National Sports Commission. The implication is that, that communiqué may not be a true reflection of the disucssions or that the Directors of Sports were simply railroaded after being paid their financial dues to just key into the preconceived decisions presented to them.

The communiqué claimed the meeting took place on the 25^th April. That is not true. The meeting started on 21st and was supposed to end on the 26^th April by the original statement the same NSC issued earlier which was published.

The second obvious lie which gave the NSC away was the date at the last page of the communiqué which boldly read April 13, 2013 meaning that was the day the communiqué was finally prepared. That means 13 clear days ahead of the conclusion of the meeting.

According to one of the Directors of Sports who attended the meeting who was independently asked the key issues discussed and confronted with some other matters, he simple exclaimed, “no, that one? No, we did not discuss that. It did not come up for discussion at all,” yet it was listed in the communiqué as discussed.

The fact is, what sinister objectives does the NSC has in stock to have preconceived a communiqué ahead of the meeting? Does it mean that the meeting was just called just to fulfill all righteousness? Yet, millions of tax payer’s monies had been expended to host and deliver the meeting.

This is fraud in its most simplistic language. Who did this? Somebody should explain to the nation how this great criminal public deception was weaved and delivered to Nigerians as if these were the outcomes of the meeting.

Except if the definition of what is a communiqué has changed.

Three parameters were arrived at to mean communiqué. They are: 1. an official report (usually sent in haste), 2. an official communication or announcement, especially to the press or public, 3. detailed outline of a meeting written in a hurry to capture what were discussed at the meeting.

Save for (2) above which met the action of the NSC but in the context of what was sent out, the first and third which should have applied DID NOT meet the basic demands of what a communiqué is and therefore, a fraud has been committed.

This communiqué was carefully prepared. It was not in haste.  It was not, cannot and should not have been the detailed outline of that meeting as this was prepared before the meeting.
