Kanu Nwankwo denies saying he met empty treasury in Enyimba FC

The newly appointed Chairman of Enyimba International FC of Aba, Kanu Nwankwo has denied saying that he met an empty treasury on assumption of office.

The FIFA Ambassador, who distanced himself from the report making the rounds of his complaint about the alleged empty treasury of Enyimba FC when he took over the affairs of the 9 times NPFL Champions,insisted that the story is fake and malicious.

The Former Ajax, Inter Milan, Arsenal and Portsmouth FC striker, who was recently appointed by the Abia State Government to manage the affairs of the 2 times CAF Champions League winners⁶⁶⁶ frowned at the claims of one Mr Vincent Akinbami who in the reports alleged that the FIFA Ambassador recently made an outburst on the alleged empty treasury of the team.

“I think this is way over board for people to write and allege what is not true just to make news.

“Since my resumption of duty as Enyimba Chairman, I haven’t made any press statement on such issue so I don’t see why someone should be alleging what I didn’t say just to creat confusion.

“Since my take over we have been occupied with ensuring that the team is ready for the CAF Champions League, the NPFL and other competitions.

“Right now we are working on the welfare of our players and their preparations and at the right time through the right channel we will make our stand known on various issues.

“The report is indeed malicious and defaming and we urge these detractors to retrace their actions as it can’t distract our focus on the mission for success.”
