State Minister for Education and Sports in charge of Sports Hon Charles Bakabulindi has urged FUFA delegates currently meeting at Pope Paul Memorial Hotel for their annual ordinary assembly to leave the place ‘changed individuals’ and ready to serve the game as a united force.
“Sports is supposed to unite us and not divide us. Let’s leave Pope Paul ready to work together for the good game of football”, the minister pleaded. Bakabulindi rushed out at football administrators exercising double standard practices to stop it and get principled. “Don’t belong to Mulindwa camp during the day and then cross somewhere else at night”, the minister further preached.
The Minister pleaded more commitment in settling indifferences within different sports associations urging, ‘they are the main reason killing the sport’. “I am not going to be a darling to everybody. As a leader I must have a position whether you like it or not” said a minister heading 35 sports disciplines.
Bakabulindi caused prolonged laughter when he scoffed at those opposed to his leadership challenging them to join him instead since he was still in the ministry for some more time. “I have not told you that I am tired. I am still here …your option is to join me”. He said.
The Minister was speaking as a chief guest at the ordinary assembly. Present were Mr. Primo Cavaro who heads Member associations in FIFA, Ashford Mamelodi the Development officer in charge of this Region and Eng. Leodgar Tenga a member of CAF executive. Tenga is the CECAFA President and ;leader of Tanzania FA.
