The Chairman Caretaker Committee of Nigeria basketball Federation NBBF, Engr. Musa Kida has blasted the opposition to stop dragging his name into the mud but they should rather come with the badge of what they wanted to offer.

Kida in reaction on Thursday in Abuja to the statement made Nigeria Basketball Vanguard accusing him of fraud, lack of transparency and busy calling him names.

He appealed to the set of opposition to leave him to bury his cross and carry their own cross saying the game is fair play.

According to him, elections are normally very interesting periods when I was campaigning 4 years ago, I was campaigning telling people what I wanted to do, I was campaigning based on the records I have myself, the achievement of what I thought I did to merit their confidence.

But this day, everybody who wants to contest as President of the Basketball Federation thinks they can get the badge of honour by just attacking me as president and nothing else.

“I think people should open their eyes better, let people stand the scrutiny of what they have done in the past, and if they have not done anything in the past, the game is fair game, they should be frank enough to say look I have not done anything like this but this what I wanted to do and appeal to the conscience of our stakeholders instead of coming drag my name in the mud because that what can be spectacular about how they can present themselves

“Let them leave me, let me burry my own cross, let them carry theirs, let them tells us what achievement they have and tell us what they won’t do in the next four year

Again, for me I am passionate about basketball, I have always done basketball even when I was not President and I don’t believe is only in being president that I will do what I need to do for basketball.

“Let them come with their history bag showing what they have and tell stakeholders what they want to do and strictly base on that, I want to encourage stakeholders to be incisive and insightful about analysis of what they want to offer, apart from blaming Musa Kida of doing this or not doing that let them say what they want to do.” He advised the opposition
