Odinga Lumumba intensifies efforts to regularize football
President of the Alpha Football Club, Odinga Lumumba has heightened efforts to, as he put it, regularize the state of affairs in the football fraternity.
To this extent he has drafted a petition and plans to have it circulated with an aim of procuring as many signatures as possible.

Thereafter, Lumumba said that he intends to dispatch the signatories to FIFA while suggesting the formation of a third alliance to preserve the integrity of the sport. The correspondence in its entirety appears below.
“We the members of the football fraternity in Guyana, spearheaded by Odinga Lumumba are calling for a speedy resolution to the impasse between the Guyana Football Federation and the Georgetown Football Association. The impasse has not only impacted negatively on the development of football in Guyana, but also painted a far from impressive picture of our football administrators’ ability to compromise and lead.
This petition embraces the will of concerned members of the football fraternity in Guyana who believe that after two years of wrangling, sport deserves better. We hereby petition the Guyana Football Federation and the Georgetown Football Association to resolve their differences which would lead to an improvement of football in Guyana.
By signing this petition, we call on the two parties to reach a solution on or before December 31, 2012 or we will be forced to create a third alliance in the interest of and development of football. We will continue to update FIFA, CONCACAF and the Caribbean Football Union on developments related to this issue.
