Chairman of the Lagos State Football Association, Fouad Oki has not been suspended as it’s widely speculated.
Gatekeepers News reports that on Tuesday a section of the media reported Okiki was suspended at a board meeting held in Surulere.
It has been established that although, Vice Chairman, Gafaar Liameed, moved a motion for the suspension of the Chairman, all the seven members rejected the motion because there was no reason to take action.
“It’s true that a board meeting was held at the FA secretariat in Surulere, but there was no decision taken to suspend Fouad Oki,” one of the board members confirmed to the Gazellenews.
The fake media report was allegedly orchestrated by Liameed despite not getting the board’s support.
“He has his plan well laid out. He had the media sympathetic to him, on ground and went straight for a pre-planned press conference after his mission failed during the board meeting,” an observer at the meeting told the news medium.
Another board member said, “he’s just being mischievous. He should be the one that should face disciplinary action. Using his position as Vice Chairman to go into agreement with tournament organisers without informing the board or the Chairman”.
