NNL: ABS FC Flogs Gateway FC 4-1 In Replay Match

Gateway FC of Abeokuta on Wednesday in Ilorin, Kwara State suffered 4-1 defeat to hosting Abubakar Bukola Saraki Ilorin FC  for the Nigeria National League day 14.
The defeated team had been worked over on October 31 after they refused to show up in Ilorin for the match.
After the mandatory 30 minutes wait at the Kwara Stadium Complex, venue of the match, centre referee Hamza Garba from Kano State sounded his whistle to confirm a walkover for the Ilorin-based side.
Walkover rules stipulate that the team whose players were on the pitch for the entire 30 minutes before the centre referee sounded his whistle (ABS Ilorin FC), gets three points.
ABS Coach, Henry Makinwa, told newsmen after the game that the outcome of the match was a dream come true for him.
Makinwa said: “I’m delighted we won the game as stipulated by the rules. I don’t know why they (Gateway United FC) refused to play.
“They were right there in the stadium but what the justifiable reason was for not playing is beyond me and beyond reasoning.
“If security is their reason, I think they got it wrong. There were enough policemen present, about 50 to 60 of them; so, why should they not play?
“At worst, they could have played under protest; as it is right now, I can say congratulations to my team for making it possible for us to get promoted into the Nigeria Professional Football League.”
However, the Nigerian Football Federation(NFF) has fined Gateway Football Club N1 million for breach of rules governing the Nigerian National League(NNL) and ordered a replay.
The match took placed behind closed door at Kwara Stadium on Wednesday where Saraki Boys flogged Gateway Face goals to one.

I have watched the reaction of people especially madam Oby Ezekwesili and Hon Abike Dabiri, and I must say that their position on this matter is illogical, embarrassing and unfair to Mustapha Audu and humanity. Let us look at the issue @ hand. THE MAJOR LIES IN @Sugarbelly's ALLEGATION: Lie Number One: Audu Abubakar Was Not The Governor As At 2007/8: Firstly, the so called accuser @ sugabelly  alleged that the late Audu Abubakar condoned the 'ficticious' rape just because he was the Governor of Kogi state. This is very far from the truth because Audu Abubakar was elected Governor in 1998, and served between 1999 and May 29, 2003 when he was defeated by Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, who served from  2003 to 2011.  He couldn't have used the office of Governor to c...
