Sports Minister, Sunday Dare Sports Minister, Sunday Dare

Sports Minister, Sunday Dare has responded to a claim by Samson Siasia, former Super Eagles player and coach, that the ministry abandoned him during his life ban from football activities.

While reacting to his reduced ban, Siasia said that the FG, former teammates and sports ministry all abandoned him during the period of the life ban.

In his response on Monday, Dare said Siasia “was not telling the truth” while alleging that he received “cash” from the ministry.

The minister also claimed that the federal government “will come out with the facts” that show the ministry helped the former Super Eagles forward through those turbulent times.

“Siasia is not telling the truth, and the ministry and the FG will come out with the facts. Of the cash he collected, of the efforts we made. He is not telling the truth,” he said.
