The management of Heartland Football Club, Owerri, has officially released a public statement clarifying the status of its former General Manager, Mr. Promise Uchenna Nwachukwu, who, according to the club, no longer has any form of affiliation, representation, or authorization to act on behalf of the team.

In the statement signed by the Technical Manager of Heartland FC, Mr. Emmanuel Amuneke, the club made it clear that Mr. Nwachukwu ceased to be part of the management structure of the Naze Millionaires as far back as July 2024. However, due to recent developments and the need to protect the integrity of the club, the management deemed it necessary to publicly restate the facts.

The release explicitly warns the general public, football stakeholders, and governing institutions such as the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) that Mr. Nwachukwu is not authorized to engage in any official or unofficial transaction, correspondence, or representation involving Heartland FC.

According to the statement, any individual, body, or organization that enters into agreements or discussions with Mr. Nwachukwu while assuming he represents Heartland FC does so at their own risk, as the club will not take responsibility for any such dealings.

> “Mr. Nwachukwu is not authorized to represent Heartland FC in any official or unofficial matters, nor is he permitted to act, speak, or transact on behalf of the club,” the management emphasized.

The release further reaffirmed the club’s commitment to transparency, professionalism, and accountability, stating that measures are being put in place to ensure that all communications, partnerships, and engagements involving Heartland FC follow proper procedures and are conducted through duly recognized officials.

Heartland FC also expressed appreciation to its supporters, partners, and football stakeholders for their continuous cooperation as the club undergoes strategic reforms aimed at restoring its glory, reputation, and competitive strength within Nigerian and African football.
