With the coming of former deputy governor of Nasarawa State, Onje Gye-Wado to restructure Lafia based Nasarawa United, the club has not had it smoothly interms of management which has also translated into the boys finding themselves at the bottom of the league table.
Last season the club was able to play at the continent, but this season it appears it is only battling to escape relegation and remain on the premier league.
As several fans of the club continue to ponder as to why the team is experiencing this poor runs, a supporter of the Lafia based side who is not happy with the situation is calling for the sacking of the entire technical crew.
The passionate supporter of the club who simply called himself Ado Makama told Leadership Sports that trouble started when Onje Gye-Wado was given the go ahead to reposition the technical team. "I strongly believe the former deputy governor has failed in repositioning the team. He has rather toed the way favouriteism than embrace professionalism. If not, what would you say of him bringing back someone like Coach Ben Duamlong, a friend of his who was earlier sacked in 2005 for poor performance?" he querried.
Decrying Gye-Wado's move to favour his own using the restructuring opportunity, he said the former Nasarawa State number two man employed three coaches from Wamba his home town in the club. "We were shocked to realise that three of the team's coaches are actually from his town. Adams Usman, El-Shamah Nagogo and Micheal Jatau are all Nungus from Wamba his home town. Worse of it all is that these coaches including Ben Dwamlong are all against Anthony Yamusa, our long standing team manager who has helped tinkered the club to success and a strong member of the Nigeria Football League" he stressed.
To further buttress his point as to the reason why he is of the belief that the former university don got it all wrong in the reorganisation move, Makama said most of them who are supporters of the club are not happy because there is actually duplication of roles and so much ill feelings within the management team. "He brought one Solomon Babanjah as team coordinator also from Wamba even though the chap has no history or pedigree in football administration, while Othman Ibrahim is there to serve as deputy chairman of the club.
Till date, there is clash of responsibilities between, the team's coordinator, deputy chairman and the team manager" he cried.
According to him, his worry is that the team is no longer Nasarawa United and at the moment disunited. "From all I can see there is nothing united about Nasarawa United. The management is dis-united and fast metamophosing into Wamba United.
There is no unity within the management which is affecting the club's fortunes. All of them including the deputy chairman, Othman Ibrahim, a highly controversial figure are all against Anthony Yamusa who has done his best for the club" he concluded.
