According to the shameful display from Ekiti contingent at the ongoing Youth festival in Asaba, the General manager of the Ekiti sports Council, Mr. Adeyemi Adekunle has said he never syphoned money awarded for the state participation at the event.
Mr. Adekunle while speaking in a WhatsApp private group called Ekiti Sports circle accepted the blame for the shabby dressing of Ekiti athletes saying he failed to include the “purchase of tracksuits in the budget submitted” to the government.
” I’m here by extremely shocked at the turn of things, I didn’t defraud or embezzle money, but I own up to the fact that I didn’t not include Purchase of Tracksuit in the budget I submitted.
I wish to say that I have tried my best to move sports forward since I assumed office, even though it can get better which I desire to pursue but this incident is unfortunate
I’m sorry for the embarrassment it has caused Govt and all of you stakeholders but be rest assured that I DID NOT STEAL MONEY!”
It was also rumoured that the sport council submitted a budget of 25 million but 20 million was approved for the state contingent.
