Nations Cup hero Sunday Mba
yesterday, in Sunday Vanguard, said
that he was a Rangers player having
moved from Warri Wolves to the Enugu
side at the end of last season.
Warri Wolves have repeatedly said that the attacking midfielder was still their player as transfer formalities had not been done.The Nigeria Premier League Interim Management Committee had also looked into the player’s contract and ruled him a Warri Wolves player.But Mba made the following comment yesterday: “We were four players that left Warri Wolves before
the Nations Cup. Why is it that I am the
only one they are bothering. The truth
of the matter is that I have no contract
with Wolves.”
Wolves so sure that no transfer
formalities had taken place yesterday
directed Mba to return to the club for
training on or before Friday, March 1.
“We don’t want to be exchanging
words or be arguing about Sunday Mba.
If he were a bonafide player of Rangers
let them field him in a match and see if
they would not be sanctioned,” Amaju
Pinnick, the Executive Chairman of
Delta State Sports Commission said,
adding that “the Interim Management
Committee ruled on February 13 that
he was a Warri Wolves player as
Rangers were yet to buy him and we
want to leave it at that.”
Warri Wolves spokesman, Etu Moses
tried to accuse Mba of treachery,
saying “why did he present himself as
Warri Wolves player and collected
additional N2.5m when the governor of
Delta State rewarded Super Eagles
players on February 14 with N2.5m
each? “His became N5m because the
governor doubled the reward for all the
Warri Wolves players. He has one year
remianing in his contract,” Moses said,
adding that the club expected Mba to
resume in Warri on or before March 1,
1013.
Rangers’ spokesman Foster Chime said
yesterday that “this matter is between
the Delta Football Association and the
Enugu State Football Association.
At the 2009/1010 season, Sunday Mba
went to Dolphin on loan from Rangers
and another matter is to know how he
ended up in Warri Wolves. The
chairman of our state FA, Chidi Okenwa
has all the documents and we will be
going to Abuja to sort out things.”
The Delta FA said yesterday they
equally had documents to prove that
Rangers had no genuine claim on Mba.
