US World Cup Defender Clavijo Dies At 63

-
Fernando Clavijo, a US 1994 World Cup defender who became a top coach, has died at age 63 after a battle with cancer, his family announced Saturday. Uruguayan-born Clavijo died Friday at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after a five-year fight with multiple myeloma, cancer of plasma cells (white blood cells). A career that spanned more than 45 years as a player, coach and technical director led to Clavijo being inducted into the US Soccer Hall of Fame in 2005. “All of us in the US Soccer family are deeply saddened by the passing of Fernando Clavijo, one of the pioneers of soccer in the United States,” said US Soccer Federation president Carlos Cordeiro. “As a player, a coach, a mentor and a friend, Fernando impacted the lives of generations of people involved in the sport to which he dedicated his life. Our thoughts today are with his family and friends as we reflect on his great legacy.” No details regarding funeral and memorial services were announced. “It is w...

Fayose blasts Gov. Fayemi, APC after being booed in church

-


The immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has slammed his successor, Kayode Fayemi, after he (Fayose) was booed in church in the state yesterday.
Fayose was booed in the church where the wedding ceremony of the daughter of Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe was being held.
Fayose’s Media Aide, Lere Olayinka in a statement following the incident, berated Governor Fayemi and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, for invading the Cathedral Church, Ado Ekiti with miscreants ostensibly to attack the former Governor and his entourage.
Fayose said it was funny that Fayemi’s response to the overwhelming reception he (Fayose) received on Friday in Ikere and Ado Ekiti when he returned to the State exactly two months after he left was to arrange miscreants to invade the house of God.
According to Fayose, the miscreants attempted to carry out their assignment of booing Fayose and calling him unprintable names but their voice was overwhelmed as hundreds of people hailed the former governor as he entered the church.
Olayinka, however, thanked Ekiti people for their continuous demonstration of love towards Fayose.
He said, “Rather than sending less than 15 miscreants to the house of God to boo Fayose, Fayemi should either face the reality of his rejection by the people or engage in actions that will make the people to love him.
“Even if the governor and his party of thugs do not regard the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, shouldn’t they have at least accorded the dignitaries who came from far and near to honour the revered monarch respect by keeping their miscreants away from the church?
“And rather than achieving their sinister aim, Fayose entered the church amidst loud ovation and this should get Fayemi and his men to begin to ask themselves what they have done wrong instead of adding more salts to the injury of their rejection by the people.
“Ekiti people will continue to love Fayose because he served them well and most importantly, he never distanced himself from them, counseling Fayemi to submit himself to the authority of the people by acting as their servant instead of his present display of power arrogance.”
