Nigeria Football Federation(Association) elections postponed

Elections into the board of the Nigeria Football Federation scheduled to hold tomorrow, August 21 in Abuja has been postponed.

The decision to shelve the election was taken at an emergency meeting of the executive committee of the federation in Abuja last night.

The elections, have been source of controversy as some of the candidates contesting for the presidency of the body insist that the electoral process is flawed.

One of the candidates, Segun Odegbami, had petitioned world football governing body, FIFA on two occasions alleging that the statutes of the NFF from which electoral guidelines were drawn had been tampered, denying contestants a level playing field.

Specifically, he condemned the decision to hold elections into the executive committee when a similar thing had not been done at the state level, even though the tenure of chairman of the state football associations and Abuja who form 37 of the 44 delegates eligible to vote in the elections had expired.

A new date may be fixed for the election tomorrow when the congress of the NFF meets.
