There is a cabal behind Giwa FC’s expulsion from the NPFL- LGFA chairmen


Sequel to the expulsion of Giwa FC of Jos from the NPFL, the Local Government Football Association (LGFA) Chairmen in Plateau State, Thursday expressed concern over alleged moves by some group of persons to undermine the growth of football in the state.

The LGFA Chairmen in a press statement made available to journalists in Jos, signed by Isa Musa, Chairman Mangu LGA and Emmanuel Musa of Kanke LGA, they regretted Giwa FC’s expulsion from the Nigeria Professional Football League.

It reads, “The group observed that as custodian of football in the state, the PFA failed to provide the necessary protection to Giwa FC during their travails with the LMC and NFF like what is obtainable in other states.”

The Chairmen blamed the Plateau Football Association PFA for not doing enough to protect the Club, during the ill fated match between Giwa FC and Enugu Rangers FC, which eventually led to their banishment to Ilorin by the League Management Company LMC.

It further reads, “It is common knowledge within the football fraternity on the Plateau, that some cabal has never hidden their disdain for Giwa FC because they have never shown concern over their predicament right from inception and the same group is always in support of the conspiracy against the Jos elephants.

“Unfolding events have also confirmed the insinuation amongst soccer fans in Plateau State that enemies of the club within and outside the state will conspire and take advantage of the lingering leadership tussle in the NFF between Ambassador Chris Giwa and Amaju Pinnick to victimise Giwa FC in the 2015/2016 NPFL league season.

“The current situation of the two Plateau teams in the premier league is worrisome and it is clear the much needed synergy between the PFA and the two teams is totally lacking.

“The time has come for soccer loving Plateau people to be smart or very soon will discover that we don’t have a team playing in the premier league becuse of the selfish interest of some group of cabal who have constituted themselves as enemies of Plateau Football”.
