Family
Pressure On Izetta To Resign
Will She Do It?
October 13, 2004
The ripple effects of last Sunday violence and hooliganism at the
Liberia-Senegal joint African Nations Cup and World Cup match is
apparently having negative impact on the President of the Liberia
Football Association (LFA), Cllr. Izetta Wesley, that she may be
considering to resign her post.
Impeccable information filtering into the offices of The Analyst has
it that the LFA boss experiencing immense family pressure to call it
quit. Sources said she is close to taking the decision.
A source close to the local football house told this paper yesterday
that Cllr. Wesley is finding difficult to put up with the demands
from family members for her to tend in her resignation to save her
bodily injuries, further destruction of her properties.
The family's demand stance from act of barbarism and callous and
wanton destruction of Cllr. Wesley's properties including her
vehicle that was set ablaze by thugs. Her entertainment center is
also to have been looted by the thugs and hooligans.
The relatives and friends are reportedly warning the LFA boss to
forget about her position to save her dear life
Soccer fans started a riotous situation at the SKD Sports Stadium in
an apparent protest to what some described as "referee's cheating",
while others blamed Coach Kardala Kromah and the football
administrator for fielding a feeble team against the Lions of
Senegal.
Fans threw stones, empty cans, and just any objects at the
Senegalese players, LFA officials, Lone Star technical staff, the
Liberia National Police, and UNMIL Police.
Worst of all, the hooligans proceeded to the center of town and
overturned vehicles of people who had nothing to do with the
selection of Lone Star players.
They smashed windshield, including that of The Analyst utility
vehicle.
It was about the same time they proceeded to the entertainment
center of Cllr. Wesley at Plumkor, looted the shop and burned her
car.
Coach Kardala Kromah also suffered the same fate, but he is said to
have already resigned his position.
It can be recalled George Weah resigned his position as Technical
Director of the National Team because, he said, disgruntled fans
"cursed" his mother.
