It could be recalled that the group has accused the NALCOMA executives of taking decisions that affects the clubs without consulting them.
According to the Conference “as much as we respect the rights and privileges of NALCOMA to engage the leadership of the League Body on issues bothering on the general interests of the Clubs, it is our submissions however that the Clubs, particularly through the leadership of the two (2) Conferences should have been duly consulted, briefed and allowed to escalate the debate and accordingly in order to be on same page and more particularly to prevent a seeming embarrassment that the unilateral and dictotarial actions have visited on the Southern Conference Clubs in particular by getting to know and even read for the first time, response of matters on their behalf through social media platforms”.
Responding further on this, the President of NALCOMA said “as duly elected executives of the club owners, we have the right to interface with the League body on issues that affects the generality of the clubs, which we do regularly”.
Continuing Okonkwo who is the former Chairman of Delta Force said “If we are elected, we have all the rights to speak on behalf of the clubs, and there are no division whatsoever in NALCOMA, and there is no way two or three clubs can come up with their personal imaginations and fabricating what is not existing. This is not accepted at all”.
He concluded by advising the individuals to concentrate on bettering the fortunes of their various clubs, and allow NALCOMA executives to carry out its assigned duties.
