Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) stakeholders and fans have been urged to descountence a fake news that suggested that the suspended 2019/20 season would be concluded in China.
The purveyors of the news which seem to have enjoyed viral circulation, claimed that Chairman of League Management Company (LMC), Shehu Dikko disclosed the decision to a Lagos based Radio Station.
But Dikko said he could not have said so after a recent online meeting of the LMC and Chairmen of the 20 NPFL Clubs which agreed on possible options to conclude the season.
“Why would I suggest that we will conclude the season in China with all the logistics nightmare and attendant cost this would entail”, began Dikko in reaction to the story and declared, ” this is an absurd attempt at fake news”.
