Mabo Says Hamza Remains Mighty Jets Chairman
The President of Mighty Jets FC of Jos, Alhaji Ismaila Mabo, has
rubbished a statement made in the media by a group who called themselves
Founders and Patriots of Mighty Jets, saying they have sacked the
Management of the Club and appointed a new management team. <br /><br />Mabo, who had a chat with <b>allnigeriasoccer.com,</b> said the group led by Ali Abubakar aka Ali Promoter are day dreamers who want to reap where they did not sow. <br /><br />“Ali Promoter has been parading himself as President of Mighty Jets and making bogus paper-appointments here and there<span class="body1"></span>”.<br /><br />“He
said my Chairman, Godfrey Hamza mismanaged funds and for that he is
dissolving Hamza’s led management, he is doing that in what capacity. <br /><br />“When
the young man was expending his personal resources to run the Club
nobody came asking questions but now that the Plateau State government
is helping out with running costs and payment of salaries People are now
interested in the<br />Club<span class="body1"></span>”.<br /><br />“It is
only the board that can sack Hamza and as President of the Club the
board members and I have not seen anything wrong with his management
style”.<br /><br />The former Nigerian International added by saying he
alongside Layiwola Olagbeminro, Sule Kekere, Gabriel Babalola, Sam Garba
Okoye and two others formed Mighty Jets in 1970 and as the most senior
member of the group he was chosen to lead and has remained the
President.<br /><br />He said he is aware of the existence of One Mighty
Jets International and that is not his business because Mighty Jets
International is different from Mighty Jets FC.<br /><br />He also used the
opportunity to warn Ali Promoter to stop parading himself as Mighty Jets
FC President or else he will be forced to orchestrate legal actions
against him.<br /><br />Mabo, who remains the most successful Women’s
National Team Coach on the African Continent to date is asking members
of the public to disregard Ali Promoter and his group.<br /><br />He has
also maintained that Godfrey Hamza remains the President of Mighty Jets
FC of Jos and also said the Board will officially communicate the
Plateau State government through the Ministry of Sports as well as the
Secretary to the State Government soon.<br /><br />He also thanked the
Governor Simon Lalong led administration in Plateau State for offsetting
the Salary arrears owed the Players and assured that with more support
Mighty Jets FC would join Plateau United FC in the Nigeria Professional
Football League, NPFL, in the nearest future.<br /><br />Mighty Jets FC who
won the Nigeria top flight’s very first edition of the league in 1970
have been playing in the Nigeria National League for sometime now.<br /><br />The
Plateau State government decided to take full sponsorship of the Club
three years ago paying salaries and providing running costs so as to use
the club as an avenue to promote peace and unity but since then another
group has sprung up also claiming ownership.
