.As NFF settles supporters’ club rift
The Super Eagles are to get total support from the stands when they face Algeria at home next month as the nation’s soccer governing body, NFF has settled the crisis rocking the Dr Rafiu Ladipo led group.
It would be noted that members of the supporters club were stopped from going to Zambia to support the Eagles in Ndola, no thanks to the division in the club.
Two factions of the group had emerged after those loyal to Ladipo (President General, Worldwide) suspended the National Chairman Vincent Okumagba.
The NFF which has since waded into the matter succeeded over the weekend to get the two factions back on the same page, even as the group vowed to storm Uyo as members of one big family to cheer Eagles in the game against Algeria.
A communique issued at the end of the reconciliatory meeting disclosed that the Office of President General Worldwide would become vacant July next year, while the suspension clamped on Okumagba is to lifted. Okumagba was however ordered to tender a letter of apology to Dr Ladipo.
The communique was signed by the trio of Ladipo, Okumagba and chairman of the NFF reconciliatory committee, Bola Oyeyode.
