GTI, TNFF Keep 100% Of The N1bn In Their Account - IMC Clears Air On 10% Insinuation 

Chairman, Interim Management Committee (IMC), Honourable Gbenga Elegbeleye has responded to insinuation that IMC paid a certain 10% of One billion naira deal to the Honourable Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare .

There are insinuation that IMC paid 10% of one billion naira sponsorship fund to Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare.

Elegbeleye while responding stated categorically that neither The Nigeria Football Funds (TNFF) nor GTI Group pay a dime into IMC account adding that they cannot give what they don't have.

"Such insinuation can only come from a jaundice mind or a blackmailer. GTI Group didn't give us a dime. The only money given to us by GTI Group was N200 million for the twenty clubs at ten million naira per club.

"These monies were not given to IMC. GTI is not title sponsor but a special vehicle to drive the league to where it ought to be, they're bankers and promised to help us raise funds using their credible organisation and we believe in them. So, we pleaded to them to help the twenty clubs with ten million naira each to kickstart the league. The money was not given to IMC but was credited to the clubs account.

"So, for anyone to insinuate that GTI Group gives IMC one billion naira and ten percent of the money goes to the Honourable Minister of Sports, Sunday Dare, this statement can only come from beneficiary of past failed system.

"If Sunday Dare is a deal man, why did he fight the old system who have a lot of money to throw around to continue staying in office?

"We cannot give what you don't have. We don't have any money from TNFF or GTI Group the money is domiciled in their account." He concluded.
