The management of Kwara United FC of Ilorin, has called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the League Management Company (LMC) not to allow Warri Wolves to bring Nigeria football and the league to disrepute.
The management was reacting to the Warri Wolves appeal against NFF Organising and Disciplinary (O&D) judgment which ordered the replay of the botched week 29 encounter played at the Kwara State Stadium Complex on Saturday, August 30th in Ilorin.
A statement from the Afonja Warriors camp expressed concern why Warri Wolves are crying foul over the NFF O&D verdicts.
The statement noted that no Warri Wolves players or official was attacked in the incident and that they refused to continue play after the match commissioner had ordered that the match be continued.
The statement added that if Warri Wolves refused to resume play as ordered by the match commissioner that day sighting security reasons the match has been rescheduled for a more secured venue which is most appropriate, hence no reason for Warri Wolves to complain again.
The statement also expressed disappointment over the comments of the Vice Chairman of O&D Iyke Igbokwue faulting a judgment he was part of.
The NFF O&D Vice chairman had gone on a Channelstv Sports programme ”SPORT TONIGHT” on Friday condemning his committee's position over the Kwara United vs Warri Wolves week 29 abandoned Globacom Premier League match.
The management expressed the belief that involvement of such persons in the running of football in Nigeria will continue to cause confusion among Nigerians and may bring the game to disrepute if he is not called to order.
The management again expressed confidence on the LMC and NFF programmes and commended the LMC for what it has done to the Nigeria league of recent signing the 34 million dollars Supersport deal as one of the best event to have happened to football in Nigeria.
