Council chairmen plan end to Ekiti State Football crisis


The Local Football Council Chairmen in Ekiti State have agreed to put all unresolved issues behind them to advance the frontiers of football in the state.


Board members of the association led by the Vice Chairman and other LFC heads made this known after rising from an emergency meeting that sought to clarify some grey areas between the state football association chairman and board members after several intervention efforts had failed.

The emergency meeting is the first in several months since the board was formed owing to the FA chairman's disingenuous plans not to carry board members along in fundamental activities.

It was gathered during the meeting that the state rather than progress in it's sports activities like other states was back peddling due to the lack of attention and proper planning.

*One of the board members, Mr Oloworemo Oluwole expressed disgust at a situation where the slot that will allow an Ekiti man to be a committee member  in NFF was given away by the EKFA chairman* This according to him was one of the impunious decisions that has kept the state in recent times on a back foot as it concerns football development.

Another member, Mr Fatukasi Joseph  revealed that the emergency meeting held plans to revert to the FA's Statutes to revive the state of football in Ekiti which has produced popular footballers such as Sunday Alimi and the likes.

Although the state of football in Ekiti State might be in a dire condition,the Ekiti State FA tied up with it's board members have vowed not to allow any selfish interests dissuade their desire to institute to a worthy legacy for the generation unborn.

The meeting ended with the forum agreeing to work within the provisions of the State FA Statutes to move football forward in the state.  The members of the Board presence led by the VC of the EKFA, Otunba Ariyo A.Y.O. were charged with the responsibility of organizing the 2017 AGM before the end of the year
