The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) last Saturday in Ado-Ekiti appealed to all Ekiti football stakeholders to desist from acts capable of destroying the State Association\u2019s activities and embrace peace.
\nThe First Vice-President of the Federation, Seyi Akinwumi, made the appeal during a meeting with football stakeholders in Ado-Ekiti.
\nHe said most of the conflict that often occured between the Chairmen of Football Associations and\u00a0 their board members were simply caused by envy and lack of transparency among them.
\n\u201cThe Nigeria Football Federation is not happy with the poor attitude of some stakeholders who have decided to oppose the development of football in the state.
\n\u201cI appealed to all those who are angry with the current board members of Ekiti State Football Association to submit their petitions to me and I will take the necessary action,\u2019\u2019 Akinwumi said.
\nHe said for football to be developed and be well recognised in Ekiti, all the football stakeholders must be in harmony.
\nThe NFF First Vice-President, however, thanked the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) Ekiti State Chapter for assisting the State Football Association to promote its activities.
\nHe charged the SWAN members to help promote the forthcoming Oodua Football League.
\nTidesports source gathered that the league would involve all teams in the South-West states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
