PFAN BACKS ILOENYOSI ,CONDEMNS AND REJECT THE HARASSMENT BY SOME MEMBERS OF ANAMBRA STATE SWAN.

 

Professional Footballers Association of Nigeria has written against the baseless accusations and harassment of the Anambra State Football Association Chairman General Chikelue Iloenyosi by some unimportant members of Anambra State Sports Writers Association.

They Wrote..

Anambra State Football Association Chairman Chikelue Iloenyosi Vs Anambra State Sports Writers Association (SWAN) : Purported Ban on Anambra State F.A Activities Outlandish and Counter Productive.

We have read with utter dismay the press release from the leadership of the Anambra State Sports Writers Association (SWAN) on the misunderstanding between some sports journalists and the Anambra State Football Association Chairman Ex-International Chikelue Iloenyosi.

From the Anambra State SWAN public statement, it’s all about individual differences that snowballed into petitions against each other to security agencies that has absolutely nothing to do with Anambra State Sports Writers Association and the Anambra State Football Association as different entities.

And it was a member of the Anambra SWAN that did the first petition against the Anambra State F.A Chairman who only did a cross petition.

Moreso according to the Anambra State SWAN the matters before the security agencies are still under investigation. So why the hasty ban on Anambra F.A? What is its offence? Chikelue Iloenyosi as an individual is different from the Anambra F.A as an organisation.

Chikelue Iloenyosi, as Chairman of the Anambra State Football Association, may not need the Anambra State SWAN to function in a social media world. He would serve his tenure and leave office at the appropriate time.

As fourth estate of the realm, what will the Anambra State SWAN benefit from reneging  on its professional responsibilities over individual differences?

The Anambra State FA Chairman,  Chikelue Iloenyosi, is one of the most outstanding FA chairmen in the country today, with loads of awards to show for it, and the footballers' block is solidly behind him and proud of his achievements. 

We outrightly condemn and reject this harassment and intimidation and assure the Anambra State SWAN that we stand with the Anambra State F.A Chairman in solidarity.
