Some members of the Nigeria Federation Cup champions, Akwa United Football Club, are in serious tussle, saying they have been side-lined from the largesse of the teams victory.
Governor Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom had donated two million naira each and apartment reward to players and officials of the club which is already causing division in the team
In a dinner held in honour of the club for their feat, Governor Udom disclosed that the reward is for players, technical crew and six other persons only.
Governor Udom speaks to the team at the dinner.
However, Sahara Reporters Sport revealed that some members have complained bitterly not having their names included, despite being part of the team.
“Do you know that some persons and I, who laboured to see this feat come to past, had our names missing from the list that was forwarded to the Akwa Ibom State government for approval?
“This will create disharmony in the club, as we feel we ought to have been treated fairly like the players, coaches too, however, there’s nothing much that we can do but blame the club management for playing lip service regarding this matter.”
The Uyo based team won the Federation Cup for the first time when they managed to edge out Lobi Stars 2 – 1. The feat also ensured their inclusion in CAF Confederations Cup next season.
