If the news filtering in is
anything to go by, then the Nigerian National League, NNL might lose its
sponsorship deal come next year.
A reliable source told our
correspondent that the sponsor of the league, who incidentally is the owner of
Remo Stars Football Club of Ijebu-Ode, Kunle Soname might pull out of the deal.
According to information made
available to our correspondent, the deal signed between NNL and Soname revealed
that he will pull out of the deal if his team is relegated to the lower league
(NNL).
The reason we gathered is because the
sponsor of the league cannot run a club in the same league because of fear of favouritism.
His words, “I pity the NNL, because
they will definitely lose the sponsorship deal of Bet9Ja
. There is no way Remo
Stars will be relegated and Soname will continue sponsoring the league. The only
way the sponsorship deal can continue is if Remo Stars escape relegation.”

Meanwhile, in a telephone interview
with Hotline
News, the NNL media officer, Amar Ignis said the owner of Remo Stars is
separate from the owner of Bet9Ja and it is the owner that will determine
whether he wants to continue sponsoring the league or not.
“Yes, Kunle Soname is the owner of
Remo Stars and he is also the owner of Bet9Ja but the owner has been separated
from the company. It is left for the owner of Bet9Ja to continue with the
sponsorship or not, it won’t affect Remo Stars’ participation in the NNL if
they found themselves in the league.”
Remo Stars Football Club is a Nigerian
Premier Football League, NPFL side. It is presently at the bottom of the NPFL league.
