The Afonja Warriors say their Week 32 opponents
should concentrate on the game and stop raising
controversy by alleging referee bias Kwara United has advised Gombe United to stop
chasing shadows over the week 32 Nigeria
Premier League match scheduled to hold in Ilorin
by insinuating possible biased officiating.
Kwara United media officer, Olayioye Ajide says
the call by the Gombe State Sports Commission executive chairman Mallam Farouk Yarma to the
League Management Company demanding for fair
officiating is raising dust to cause confusion.
Ajide reminded Mallam Yarma of how they do
manipulate officiating in the name of northern
mayhem by intimidating referees to award penalty for Gombe United and that under an
enabling atmosphere, the likes of Gombe have no
place in the elite division.
Kwara United queried why television cameras are
not allowed to cover matches in the north or have
video clips of matches in Gombe beamed on television if not for their antics.
He challenged Gombe to produce video tape of
the match between Gombe United and Kwara
United where two controversial penalties were
awarded owing to intimidation.
‘In our own case, we have never enjoyed undue advantage this season. In fact Kwara United
played only one penalty which was not
controversial; therefore, Gombe United should not
raise alarm where there is no crisis.
"Nigerian referees have performed excellently well
and we applaud them for that. At this crucial stage of our league clubs should mind the kind of
statements they make’, Olayioye stated.
Olayioye added that if Kwara United is desperate,
the team wouldn’t have lost at home or drawnany
as spectators in Ilorin love good football and will
not hesitate to boo the players when they fail to find their rhythm on the field of play.
"Gombe should not think they can intimidate
officials to get result in Ilorin, they should rather
justify their ability on the field of play," Olayioye
counseled.
Kwara United commended the LMC for their sense of organization and urged them to be more
vigilant as the league draws to an end.
