The General Manager of Shooting Stars
Sports Club, Mutiu Adepoju has condemned rumours suggesting that he’s
quitting the club due to “government interference.” “There was never a
time I contemplated quitting my post as General Manager of Shooting
Stars, and I don’t really know where this wicked rumours emanated
from,” Adepoju said.

“I have never complained to anyone
about external interference, and as much as I have enjoyed absolute
freedom in running the affairs of 3SC, the falsehood surrounding the
rumours must be laid to rest.

“As much as I am condemning these false
reports in their entirety, let me also set the records straight and
tell all Shooting Stars supporters at home and abroad that there’s no
truth whatsoever in whatever they may have read regarding this issue,
and at this moment, I remain the GM of 3SC and have no intention of
quitting,” he added.

A section of the Nigerian media had
early in the week reported that “the crisis that has deepened at the
troubled Premier League club, Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC), may
result in the resignation of its general manager, Mutiu Adepoju.”

Expressing his disgust at the unfounded
rumours, the Nigeria ex-international lamented the biased mind of
certain sports journalists who never take the pains to verify
information before going to press.

“There’s no crisis at Shooting Stars,
so whoever is wishing us bad at this time will only be disappointed
because we are destined to shine.

Part of our plans to reposition the
team is already taking shape, as we have just announced the appointment
of Fatai Amoo as our new Chief Coach,” he said.

Adepoju also described the negative
stories regarding his purported resignation as the handiwork of his
detractors whose sole aim is to see him fail.

“This is obviously the work of my
detractors who are hell bent on destabilizing the team, but we are not
be deterred, and we shall continue to do our best to reposition
Shooting Stars as a leading brand in Nigerian football,” he stated.

Meanwhile, newly appointed coach of 3SC, Fatai Amoo is resuming with
the team on Wednesday morning by 7.30am at the team’s Liberty Stadium
training ground after fine-tuning his contract formalities on Tuesday
afternoon at the club’s Jericho office in Ibadan.
