Chairman, Mark Mentors basketball club, Mark Ighoche, a presidential aspirant in the forthcoming Nigeria Basketball Federation election, talks on the crisis that has rocked the body in recent years, in this interview with ’TANA AIYEJINAbody FIBA has fixed the NBBF election for January 31 but there are so many unresolved issues among stakeholders.
The ministry writing to FIBA and addressing him as the president, to me, is like they’ve already appointed him as president and everything they’re doing now is just to formalise what has already been taken care of behind closed doors. The main problems are still there. The problem we have with the NBBF is that document they call the constitution, that document that Ahmadu-Kida singlehandedly amended without the vote of the board members and took it to FIBA.
Honestly, I see doom. I don’t see any progress at all because even in the last two years, the only progress I have seen are individually organised tournaments, championships and competitions. Otherwise, nothing is going on.
Firstly, the process of the amendment of the constitution that came into the country in 2019 is flawed because this current document surrounds one person. The current document favours Ahmadu-Kida. In his constitution, the only person that can call the congress is the president of the federation. Ahmadu-Kida called the last congress around October 9, 2021 and said they’ve fixed the election date and venue.
You are doing great,we are behind you.
