He charged the Honorable Gbenga Elegbeleye led board not to relent in giving Nigerians a league they will be proud of.<br \/>\n\u201cWe want to commend the NPFL board for the way it has dealt with the issue of poor officiating by match officials and the promptness applied in doing so.<\/p>\n<p>This is highly commendable and on behalf of the Club Owners, I\u2019ll want to urge you not to rest on your oars because we can\u2019t afford to go back to the ugly past where match officials do whatever they like with impunity and nothing is done to checkmate them. We\u2019re not there yet but we\u2019ve made progress. We are also happy that our games are now on television, this is very important for any league that wants to develop and be attractive to sponsors,\u201d posited the former Sharks Football club of Port Harcourt General Manager.<\/p>\n<p>As far as the Rivers United General Manager is concerned, the NPFL strategic partners, GTI deserves support for what they\u2019ve been able to do for the league which he described as immense, he however asked them to redouble their efforts at attracting more support for the league while pledging the backing of the clubs to enable them achieve the lofty plans they\u2019ve for the league.<\/p>\n<p>On the issue of Total Promotions taking the NPFL to court which is discouraging potential sponsors from supporting the league, Chief Kpalukwu pleaded with the former league partners to stop dragging the league backward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we\u2019ve gone past this stage and I\u2019m surprised that this issue of Total Promotions hasn\u2019t gone away. What is certain is that the club owners as a body is solidly behind the NPFL and we condemn in its entirety anything that will set the league backward. Enough is enough,&#8221; stated Chief Kpalukwu who is also a member of the NPFL board.<\/p>\n<p>In his response, the NPFL chairman, Hon Elegbeleye thanked the clubs for their continued support for the league body and promised to keep engaging with them to deliver on promises made when the board was sworn in by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) a few months ago.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92023 kick442.com-Nigeria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
