" I am not the agent of Samson or any other player for that matter. I don't make or seek to make money from football,” Barr. Akinwunmi said.
" Those allegations are a product of small and deranged minds. My relationship with Samson is no different from the one i have with other Ekofootball Team players.
" I’m the Chairman of the State FA that they come from and I’m bound to look after them and protect them from Intermediaries who try to take advantage of their ambition and illiteracy of their parents.
" I will not allow them to be cheated if i can help it but i have no pecuniary interest. I say it to them all the time and even in writing,” he said.
