Chief
Gabriel Chukwuma has denied reports that he has ceded proprietorship
of high flying Nigerian Premier league side, Gabros FC to anyone, saying he is
still club chairman and proprietor who decides day to day issues
affecting the team. Chukwuma, who was asked to clarify current status
of the club regarding conflicting reference to it as Gabros in some
quarters and then Ifeanyi Ubah United in others said, “I am still
the club chairman and I am the one running the club. There has been
no change.” “the change envisaged is that we are out to develop
the club as a real model in Nigeria, promote it to be the best the
country has ever produced and enhance the club as the ideal club in
Nigeria only comparable to those found in Europe and other parts of
the world,” he said, adding “the club we are buildingwill be
defferent from and a lasting legacy.”
The
former Nigeria Football Association 1st vice- chairman
(2002 to 2005) however agreed that the club was being repositioned to
be one of the best in the country. “We started out as the only club
that owns a playing pitch and own hotel facility for camping being
part requirements agreed to by stake-holders when football turned
professional in the country. Now we want to go further by making
Gabros the best run club. We have hired a foreigner as coach and he
is working in partnership with Nigerians led by Willy Udube. Results
so far since the season started are are coming according to plan.
What it means is that players from any part of the world are welcome
to play in the club. That is the reason I will confirm reports that
we recruited foreign players. Talents are welcome from anywhere so
long as they have ability and the will to play,” he added
