Sports Supporters’ Groups Reaffirm Commitment To Unity Pact

Vincent Okumagba, chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Nigeria Football and Sports Supporters Group (NSSG), says the group remains committed to the peace pact.

The agreement was brokered by the National Sports Commission (NSC) to unite splintered supporters’ clubs under one umbrella.

Okumagba told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that all member groups under the NSSG banner remain committed to working together.

He described a recent outburst by one group as stemming from fear of the unknown rather than genuine discontent.

Recall that the NSC in January brokered peace among previously divided supporters’ clubs through the formation of the NSSG.

However, that peace was threatened last week as one group accused the Interim Committee of not honouring the agreement.

Okumagba dismissed talk of division and reaffirmed the group’s unity and commitment to the peace process initiated by the NSC.

“We are all united and remain focused on the peace pact that gave us our mandate.

“We signed the agreement with the NSC and NFF, who intervened because they believed in us and wanted unity restored,” he said.

He added that the group’s tenure was only one year, and they were preparing to conduct elections soon.
Okumagba said the discontent expressed by one group appeared to be based on misinformation or fear of what lies ahead.

He assured that the forthcoming elections into various advertised positions would be free, fair, and open to all interested members.

“Anyone popular enough can contest. We’ve encouraged everyone interested to step forward.

“Those raising concerns may simply fear losing the election. There is no need to create unnecessary tension.

“We are still united. We went to Kigali in one uniform to support the Super Eagles and will continue that spirit,” he said.

Okumagba confirmed that six groups had initially joined the NSSG, with four or five still actively aligned under the peace agreement.

“We’ve established a reconciliation team. Any issues should be addressed through that committee.

“There’s no hidden agenda. Everyone will have a level playing field during the election.

“However, if any group remains dissatisfied, they’re free to register separately. We won’t interfere – the more, the merrier,” he said. (NAN)
