NFF congress to move elections after FIFA order

The executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will meet on Thursday to call for a congress that will move elections into the board by at least a month.

Polls for the executive committee are fixed for August 26, but following a rash of complaints concerning the electoral process, AfricanFootball.com can report that world football governing body FIFA have directed a congress to address these issues.

The congress may most likely also reorganise the electoral committee.

Most aspirants have complained they did not beat Monday’s deadline for the submission of nomination forms as they could not pick up such forms.

The forms were hoarded and only given to a selected few.

On Tuesday, an exco meeting to debate some of these issues was put off at the last minute when acting president Mike Umeh was quizzed by the State Security Service with a stern warning to first get approval for any such parley.

A top sports ministry official will then meet with a faction of the executive committee at his residence in Abuja on Wednesday evening apparently to map out plans for the meeting the following day.

However, it is left to be seen whether the impeachment of Aminu Maigari will be part of the agenda of this extra-ordinary congress.

FIFA have asked to be furnished with full details leading to the impeachment of the NFF president.

The NFF exco had earlier shelved till further notice a congress to rectify Maigari’s dismissal due to “unforeseen circumstances”.

Thursday’s board meeting is fixed for 9am.
