Credible information reaching Today points to a looming tension in Alajo, a suburb of Accra, following allegations that former Member of Parliament (MP) for Ayawaso Central, Sheikh I.C. Quaye, is planning to sell the only football park in the area to some business men. That intention, Today gathered, has gotten football enthusiasts in the area furious, with many threatening to take the former MP on should he go ahead with his plan. But in a telephone conversation with Sheikh I.C. Quaye, he made it clear that the park in question is his property which he acquired 50 years ago. He went on to deny selling the park to some business men though, he admitted taking some people to the said land which was near where he was building a community school. �I have no intention of selling this park and I will not sell it for anything,� he categorically stated. Fuming with anger, he threatened to sue the bank roller of Farcos FC if he does not stop peddling falsehood about him. ��..Nonsense, where was he [Leonard] when I and my family acquired this land fifty years ago,� he said. That notwithstanding, football fans who spoke to the paper described the intended move by I.C. Quaye as �wicked and cruel.� �This pitch serves more than five football clubs including Great Farcos FC, Evergreen FC, and Prince FC etc.
