Edo state Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole frustrated the former
Nigeria Coach late Amodu Shuiabu from collecting his ten months
entitlement which would have assisted him for his immediate needs and
probably may have not died if those allowance were paid
According to Michael Effiong New editor of Ovation Magazine posted,
According to him, Gov Adams Oshiomhole since September 2015 refused to
pay Amodu Shuiabu his entitlements but was one of the first to rush to
sign his condolence register when he died..Is this not an act of
hypocrisy?
also according to one of his cousins, a legal practitioner identified
as Ankari Afegbua who claimed to have been with him throughout Friday,
a day to his death, said he believed Amodu died out of frustration as
a result of outstanding debts being owed him by the Nigerian Football
Federation (NFF) and the Edo state government. Speaking after the
burial (the ex coach was buried on the same day according to Islamic
rites) Afegbua had this to say:
l
“Apart from that pain he said he had on his chest, he was okay only
for us to wake him up this morning to do the normal fasting and he was
met dead, I think he died out of frustration because his financial
status was not okay. “He was complaining of not being paid and he was
having difficulties to maintain himself and his immediate family. I
think the purpose of his being in Benin was to put up a bill for his
payment. He is being owed by NFF and the Edo state government.”
Afegbua went on to say Amodu must have known he was going to die
soon, as the last conversation he had with him largely consisted of
mentions of funeral rites of a proper Muslim: “While talking, he was
talking about how a Muslim should live his or her life and how he
should be buried. He is a true Muslim. He believed in Islamic faith
and that is why we said we will not leave him in the mortuary because
by Islamic faith, you are not expected to be embalmed or be put in the
mortuary.”
A colleague of the late coach Greg Ihenoba said Amodu believe
probably he would have not died now if he had money, adding that the
late tactician is being owed for two years. “Just imagine, this man
has not been paid for two years. He has been suffering. He has been
doing everything to reach the governor of the state, but somehow, he
got frustrated. “The governor and his people are yet to pay. If this
man was paid half of what he was owed, he won’t have died. He was
forced out of his house in GRA. He is my boss, I worked with him for
two years and I am being owed as well.” Late Amodu is survived by his
mother, his wife and seven children.
