Chairman of Club Owners Association of Nigeria, Isaac Danladi, has urged members to stay united and calm as they edge close to taking a decision on the 2019/2020 Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL, season.
Danladi said this became necessary due to the recent outburst between clubs and the Association after it was rumoured that the season will be brought to an abrupt end.
The Club Owners Chairman pleaded with members not to allow the ongoing issues to disrupt the existing unity that they have sustained over the years. He assured that the best decision will be arrived at once the Covid-19 challenge is over and all issues will be professionally addressed accordingly.
The NPFL has been suspended since March following the spread of Covid-19 in the country.
The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19 and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, recently stated that the government is not excited to resume sporting activities as the number of confirmed cases of the virus continue to rise in the country.

The League Management Company, LMC, had proposed 4 options to end the league, including a point-per-game, PPG method, which was subjected to a vote at the weekend.
Twenty NPFL club chairmen were involved in a virtual voting process on the best options to end the NPFL 2019/20 season, with 17 of them voting to end the season, with the top 3 clubs representing Nigeria at CAF competitions via the Points Per Game table and that there should not be promotion or relegation of any clubs.
