Amos Adamu Warms Against Dragging His Name Into Boxing Crisis
Retired Director General of Federal Ministry of Sports, Dr. Amos Adamu has warned those trying to drag his name into the crisis between Nigeria Boxing Federation (NBF) and the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C) to desist from such forthwith or face the full wrath of the law.
Dr. Adamu, who retired from the Sports Ministry over 10 years ago was reacting to the story making the rounds that he condemned the National Sports Commission for the crisis between both bodies.
“This story is from the pit of hell, a total fabrication that has no truth whatsoever.
“Why will I, for any reason, criticize or condemn my place of work? Sports Ministry (now Sports Commission)which is my primary constituency”.
“Those who know my antecedents know that I have never ever condemned where I had put all my energies and resources. Is it now that I will start such a thing?
“Yes, the leadership of NBB of C came to my house to complain about the issue and I advised them to sort out the problem amicably with top NSC officials.
“So, how does that harmless advice turn to condemnation of my primary constituency”, queried the former CAF and FIFA bigwig.
