URGENT CALL TO THE MALAM DIKKO UMAR RADDA PhD, EXC GOVERNOR KATSINA STATE ON THE SITUATION KATSINA UNITED IS IN.
First of all, we thank the Mallam Dikko Umar radda PhD for his tremendous efforts every time to see the state of Katsina progress in every aspect, without showing discrimination or political differences, always and every time the state is in his free heart governor, this is very recommendable.
Regarding the Katsina United football team, there are many problems withing, most of which are caused by the lack of professional experience in the management of the team.
EXAMPLE.
1. Since the caretaker committee came on board to this day, this club has been fined millions of naira almost three times lack of unprofessional.
2. At that time, the Exc governor approved and released more than forty million naira to pay off the club outstanding debt, but did not pay even one thousand naira to those who paid those who owe debt and the money spent (mismanagement of public funds). Now the club account is reading in red.
3. Due to dissatisfaction with the current leadership, the valuanters are trying to revive the lost glory and reputation of the club, and it has already collapsed.
They pay the gate fee. For the public, to watch the game for free, because people's are not satisfied with the efforts of the club. So they couldn't west their resources for the club.
4. Look at how the state money is spent if you look at the players of KATSINA UNITED, almost 80% of them are not from the state or even northerners they are from the south and east, unlike our neighbors KANO PILLARS. Which 100%of their players are indegine of kano state.
Is this inability of the leadership or is it the lack of enthusiasm of the people of Katsina state? A native of katsina state, a player in KATSINA UNITED is the lowest paid footballer in the Nigerian premier league, which is a shame. And he plays in his states and perform wonderfully But this jealousy is not seen as a sign that the rightful One is being suppressed. His name (Nesta)
5. Right now, footballers are being over recruited in the disguise of so call junior team or under 17, this is not wise because there is no provision for them in the budget to pay them, and if they are released or sacked because of lack of money finally they blame the governor or the government for the reason that they have suffered and denied their rights to pay them, while the government does not know about all this unprofessional attitude.
6. Now the half season is approaching and the Exc governor has paid all half season money for matches, logistics and all match expenses and funds to pay all the club's outstanding debt. they claim reliably now they are borrowing before they could be able to play a match. So where are the all money released before? And how to spend them at past?
7. With due respect His Excellency the governor should save this club by appointing a substantive chairman. those who are experienced in the business.
Finally, the governor should be informed that the board of Premier League in Nigeria does not accept these caretakers and any government interventions because in the national sports law, there is no jurisdiction of the caretaker. And they have sent an official letter to the katsina state confirming this for more than two months back, and no action taken yet.
May God make this complaint of ours where it should be Amen.
Thanks.
