The respected football administrator debunked the false claim linking him as a partner in the mortgage contract of a struggling NNL club.

"I don't do illegitimate football business, I am a former footballer and a very experience football administrator. I am awe struck hearing unfounded stories about my goodself in media space."

Apexmedia was unable to find any reference linking Badwiry to the allegation as at the time of this report.

Mallam Badawiy, who has guided few clubs in the NPFL as a team coordinator and now as a team manager, posited that the business of running a club should not be left in the hands of none initiates.

"I will not allow this mischief maker get to me, I am too legit for him: I repeat, I have no business with any local club from Kaduna and I have not done business with anyone there." Bashir stated.

He challenged anyone to produce any evidence linking him to any atrocious allegations.

"The world and football is going through a very difficult moment which demands the utmost care and attention from all of us so all these beer parlour gossip is not necessary," he declared.
