The League Management Company's (LMC) hammer may fall on Kwara United of Ilorin following the decision of the Kwara State government to sack the club's management and inaugurate an interim board to run the struggling club.  

The LMC Tuesday gave Kwara State government a 72-hour ultimatum to rescind its decision and restore the sacked board or face sanctions, which may result to the suspension of the club form the league.

The Ilorin outfit incurred the wrath of the LMC after the government sacked the Bamidele Aluko-led board and constituted an interim management team, led by the Chief of Staff to the Kwara State Governor, Toyin Sanusi.

LMC Chief Operating Officer, Salihu Abubakar, disclosed Tuesday in Abuja that Kwara United have violated the rules governing the league by appointing a serving commissioner in the state as a member of the interim board, adding that the rules also forbids the sack of an existing board when it has not served its four-year term.

 "This development negates the rules governing the constitution of club management in the elite class in Article 1.9(4), which states that: "Government functionaries viz: Commissioners, Special Advisers, shall not be part of club management.

"Appointed in 2012, the Aluko led board is supposed to serve for a period of four years based on Article 1.9(2). According to Article 1.9(5), the Ilorin side risks suspension from the league if found the state government fails to recall the sacked board of the club," Abubakar warned.

But the state government claimed that the new management team was set up to reposition the team, adding that Aluko's board will remain in an advisory position.

Also included in the new management team is the state Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Ramat Abaya. 

Meanwhile Abubakar has revealed that Week 24 games will now hold on August 11 to allow for the Muslim Sallah festivities. 

 "The board has rescheduled Week 24 games for August 11, while Week 25 games will be played midweek of August 14," Abubakar said.  

 The Week 24 games were earlier scheduled for Wednesday August 7 and Thursday August 8, while Week 25 games were to be played weekend of August 10 and 11.
