Club Owners Reject Secretary’s Resignation

The Globacom Premier
League Club Owners Association has said it was not accepting the resignation of its Acting Secretary, Alloy Chukwuemeka, who quit office on Friday, November 29.
In a statement signed by its Acting Chairman, Isaac Danladi, the association said it was rather giving Chukwuemeka an extension of service.
Chukwuemeka who is the General Manager of Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS) Football Club of Ilorin had quit his position last  Friday.
In his resignation letter, he had said his position in the association was no longer tenable in view of his club’s relegation to the lower league.
ABS FC were relegated to the Nigeria National League (NNL) from the premier league at the end of the 2012/2013 season.
The relegation was on  November  28 confirmed and approved by the Annual General Assembly (AGA) of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) in Warri, Delta.
But Danladi said his association wanted Chukwuemeka to continue in office.
“Chukwuemeka has been given the nod to continue in office, pending the election of a substantive Executive Committee,’’ he had said in the statement.
The statement said the decision to reject Chukwuemeka’s resignation, after “due consideration’’ was out of the need to “avoid a vacuum in the Executive”
It said the action became necessary in view of Chukwuemeka’s selfless and meritorious service, as well as invaluable contributions to the association as Acting Secretary.
