Sesay’s address reads: “I am satisfied that the action of the stakeholders was in accordance with the SLFA statute and in the interest of football. I therefore call on everyone to get behind the committee so that much could be achieved within the limited time frame,”
“I would like to warn against acts of sabotage or interference as the committee buckles down to work. Any unpatriotic conduct would be stoutly resisted.”
He further stated that the committee would welcome dialogue on the development of football in the country and encourage anyone who has a genuine interest in the management of the game to start preparing for the next elective congress that will be held in next six months.
In another strong statement, the SLFA interim head stated: “We will encourage constructive dialogue for the good of the game but we will not negotiate out of fear. The current issue in SLFA is a constitutional matter and we will advice that we should all respect the rule of law; i.e the SLFA, FIFA, CAF statues.”
He also warned the dissolved SLFA executive committee to refrain from any further activities including the expenditure of SLFA funds, an issue he said they will address in due course.
