NPFL slot: "Buying a space is not an option" - Sporting Lagos Godwin Enakhena

Published on: 01 July 2024

Veteran broadcaster and chairman of Sporting Lagos Football Club, Godwin Enakhena has disclosed that the club will not buy Nigeria Premier Football League slot from Beyond Limit, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Following their relegation from the NPFL, reports have been rife on one of the relegated teams especially Sporting Lagos and Heartland FC buying the slot of Beyond Limit, but the football administrator says it is not in the plan of the club.

Mr. Enakhena while responding to comments on his X post disclosed that the club is not willing to buy any slot, but will rather fight to comeback soon to topflight football.

Godwin had posted a statement apologizing to fans for the Noisy Lagosians' failure to remain in the league.

He said "If I gladly received accolades when Sporting Lagos gained promotion to the NPFL and Naija Super 8 win, why would I be angry now if I'm blamed for the team's relegation? I apologise to the fans, we'll be back shortly in the npfl. What I've issues with are the wrong accusations."

In one of the comments to the post insinuating of the club will buy the Premiership league slot, Godwin  said:

"Buying a space is not an option, they'd rather play from the lower division back to the top...you get it now?"

Also, when being asked to buy the slot by another respondent to the post, he replied:

"I don't own Sporting Lagos, and that's not their plan.
