Now that the League Management Company (LMC) has made ‘a staggering
break through’ in getting Globacom Nigeria Limited to pay about N1.89billion as
the title sponsor of the Nigeria Professional Football League, some respite
seems to be coming their way despite the club owners discountenancing the
event.
Taking a careful look at the cheque presented to the public whose
replica should be what is taken to the bank, can we say there are many other
new questions to be answered?
The cheque carries the name of the payee as “Nigeria Professional
Football League.” As at the last count, I am aware there is no such company
registered as such. We have the League Management Company which has become a
muddy case. What with the illegality and fraud of the Nigeria Football
Federation President, Aminu Maigari, signing as the President of the Nigeria
Football Association (NFA) which he is not?
Back to were we are coming from. To discount the Globacom cheque, if
the name on the massive cheque displayed is anything to go by, it can only be
discounted by the payee.
A sundry review means that the operators of the League may have registered
secretly another company called the Nigeria Professional Football League since
the League Management Company cannot be paid such monies because they are not
the named payee.
Ordinarily, I stumbled on the fact that the League Management
Company is involved in a contempt before Justice Adamu Bello of the Federal
High Court Abuja. They were sued both in their personal and corporate
personalities by Harrison Jalla’s National Association of Nigerian Footballers
(NANF).
