Ekiti FA Crisis: Football Stakeholders Counsel Parties To Embrace Peace

Warring parties in the Ekiti State Football Association (ESFA) have been urged to embrace peace and work together for the development of the game in the state.
The stakeholders, under the auspices of the Ekiti State Football Stakeholders who gave the the advice said development can only be achieved in the atmosphere of peace, equity and  justice.
Tidesport source gathered that are reacting to the Thursday’s judgment of an Ado Ekiti magistrate court, which sentenced the state FA chairman, Mr Bayo Lanlege and five others to  a 14-day imprisonment for contempt of court.
The chairman of the group,  Prince Gabriel Adetule while speaking with newsmen in Ado Ekiti on Friday said efforts were made to resolve the issue but were rebuffed by the contending parties 
Adetule said, “There is nothing we can do about it but to obey the court order but we still remain resolute that there should be peace in Ekiti state as far as football concerned.
“ We should learn from this,  that things  must be done rightly. Nigeria Football Federation should assuage to the whims and caprices of the people to do the right thing”.
On whether this will negatively affect football development in the state,  the state football referee  council member said it will rather stabilize the running and management of football in the state.
