The founder of Bet9ja and former Pioneer Executive Chairman of Ikosi Local Council Development Area, Honourable Adekunle Soname is a Man Utd die hard Fan according to Bob Olukoya Esq.
The founder of Advocates for Grassroots Sports(AGRAS) made the claims while reacting to the barage of criticism that trail the flooded newly Commissioned Leken Salami Stadium in Oyo state during opening ceremony match.
In his reaction he said,” Many months ago, when the now deceased Hon Gbolagade Busari was the Chairman of the Board of 3SC, I had the privilege of brokering a partnership meeting between Man City, yes, same one and 3SC in Nigeria.”
“We could not have the meeting in Ibadan because the Lekan Salami Stadium was an eye sore. We met at Eko Hotels and Suites, Lagos.
“The 3SC team came all the way from Ibadan. Mr Rasheed Balogun, GM of 3SC led the technical team together with the media head, while Hon Busari on a wheelchair then led the management.
“We invited the CEO of the sponsors at the time – Bet9ja – but he did not come. I later learnt that he is a Man Utd die hard fan,” Bob Odukoya revealed.
“Meeting went well and everyone present got a customised Man City and 3SC Jersey courtesy of both clubs.
“Why didn’t we have the meeting at the stadium in Ibadan? Well, Stadium was an eyesore and a stadium tour with our guests will damage mine and 3SC reputation for life. The toilets had no running water at the time to start with. Score board packed up. Ambience very wrong. Looks more like an abandoned shipwreck at the time.
Enter GSM and a turnaround is here.
“Now then, some no do gooders are calling the project money down the drain due to leaking roof and waterlogged pitch after a test game
“While Peculiar Ultimate Concerns Construction Company – contractors must not be spared, any criticism bordering on calling the project a sham is definitely in bad faith.
“I shall be reviving my Man City contacts and see whether a visit to Ìbàdàn at the end of the season is a possibility. I will proudly and majestically point to that edifice and say, that is the home ground of my beloved 3SC (Shooting Stars Media take note), Bob assured.
