Abịa State FA War: Many sins of ousted Abịa State FA chairman Obioma Onyeaghalah

As former Abịa State FA chairman Obioma Onyeaghala battle to save his face after he was disgraced out of office and impeached by the Abịa State FA board members and the Local Government football council chairmen, more revelations have emerged in the associations Whatsapp group by a member of the board.
Yesterday, the first Whatsapp exposee explains how Mr Onyeaghala squardered the monies in the association’s account and his negative leadership of the association.
1.3m Money contributed by stakeholders for late Sir E.C burial was squandered by Revoo. He only gave the family 400k. Chief Anyansi can bear witness as he wasn’t happy with this development.
Revo opened UBA corporate account without the mandate of the board.
Revoo printed cash receipt outside the receipt with FA secretaries without the consent and approval of the board.
Revoo accused Hon Com for sports of embezzling our approved money by the Gov without proof thereby causing strained relationship with him and other stakeholders.
Revoo is now the one that receives match indemnity from clubs for their home matches with his personal account instead of the FA secretary
All memos and correspondences are no longer signed by FA secretary but by Revoo.
Revoo squandered all the monies we realised during the last FA elections and put us into debts. He handled all the expenses during FA elections (Contestant) in place of the FA secretary.
Revoo unilaterally and purportedly suspended the State chairman and Secretary of Referees council without the consent of the board or pass through any disciplinary committee..
All borne out of his personal interest.
Revoo has never rendered account to the Board on all monies from clubs affiliation levies, NPFL, donations for the past 2 football seasons.
Revoo never mentioned to the board the monies and donations he received from grassroot club owners during that featured in state league.
Revoo almost marred the success of this year’s state FA cup when he singlehandedly changed the semi final fixtures against an NPFL club to favour his preferred private money bag club… thanks to NFF intervention.
The FA board will clock 2 by may 2025 but has not sat or met more than twice. In one of the joint meetings, Revoo boycotted the meeting for more than one hour by staging out of the meeting because the general opinion didn’t go his way. You may confirm from the the referees present and board members.
Revoo has never attended any derby match by the 2 NPFL clubs for the past 2 seasons. He was selfishly busy somewhere in Abiriba in last season’s derby match between the 2 npfl clubs. He doesn’t attend these matches but will insist the monies for organising these matches be paid to his personal account instead of the FA secretary. Doesn’t FA secretary have personal account that Revoo must insist on his personal account?
Revoo can’t succeed with his evident hatred to the present government, NPFL club chairmen in Abia, Abia Referees council and other stakeholders.
A time to bow out says the first Whatsapp exposee. Today, another have emerged which reads:
NEED FOR EFCC INVITE
On your assumption of office as chairman after
the death of Sir EC, the board mandated you and the secretary as our signatories to our FA Polaris account .
The first you did was to pull out the whole money in that account without any bank statements of account to the board but rather abandoned that bank for UBA without the consent and approval of the board. On whose mandate did you open account with UBA outside the Polaris bank the board gave?
The only reason you criminally switched to UBA was to deny the FA secretary access to checkbook which is still under your custody even as I type now.
You intimidated the FA secretary who signed postdated cheques for you your gradual siphoning of FA money hence you’re the only one receiving bank alert.
Just last week Thursday at exhaustion of the already signed postdated cheques in your custody, began to call same FA secretary you purportedly removed to come sign another cheques for at UBA.
The drama that ensued between you and the secretary before the bank staff is a story for another day as can be confirmed by the FA secretary who refused to sign but only ask you to get a mandate from the board since purportedly removed him. Meanwhile the board hasn’t met for the past 8 months.
You and one other member you bought in FA never paid for FA chairmanship and membership nomination form. Show the world evidence of payment as every other contestant paid with prove.
After every FA elections, the secretary renders account to the board but you rendered dubious and fictitious account that was rejected by the board till today. I will post that your account here for the world to see, forgetting that you were a contestant as at the time of election and not yet the chairman.
The copy of your account on FA election will be posted here for exposition and references.
