By Uzor Odigbo
The founder of Athletics and other Sports Development Initiative, Hon. Ahmed Shuaibu Gara Gombe, has again dared the National Sports Commission Director-General, Bukola Olopade, to show evidence of his leadership since his appointment.
The NGO, which advocates for transparency, accountability, and good governance in sports, questioned why the NSC DG would threaten media houses, including Channels TV presenters, with litigation if the Station fail to withdraw the interview material granted Hon. Gara Gombe by the station.
In a press statement signed by the NGO boss today in Abuja, he accused Bukola Olopade of abusing his position as DG NSC by refusing to resign as Managing Director of Nilayo Sports Marketing Company after his appointment, insisting that the records and evidence are available.
According to Gara Gombe, “The CTC from CAC shows that he is still a Director of NILAYO SPORTS and he is still promoting Nilayo Sports even as active DG NSC as he did in Enugu State towards the National sports Festival and one other event in Ogun state.”
He added: “Bukola Olopade, the director general of the National Sports Commission (NSC) should stop grandstanding, bullying and harassing Media houses when certain goings on in our sports are revealed.”
