Governor Biodun Oyebanji has ordered the General Manager of Ekiti state Sports Council, Mr. Adekunle Adeyemi, to return to Ado-Ekiti immediately .
Adekunle, who had led athletes from the state to the ongoing 7th National Youth Games in Asaba, Delta state, has been asked to hand over to the next most senior official and return home immediately.
