Retired Sports Ministry Director General, Dr Amos Adamu has warned whoever is trying to drag his name into the crisis between the Nigeria Boxing Federation (NBF) and the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control (NBBofC) 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, criticise or condemn my place of work? The Sports Ministry (now Sports Commission) is my primary constituency”.
“Those who know my antecedents know that I have never condemned where I had put all my resources. Is it now that I will start such a thing?
“Yes, Dr Rafiu Ladipo came to my house to complain about the issue and I advised him to sort out the problem amicably with the top NSC officials.
“So, how did that harmless advice turn into a condemnation of my primary constituency,” queried the former CAF and FIFA bigwig.
