Election fever grips football federation as potential candidates begin consultations

Published

It is still about seven months to the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) general elections, but the race has already started with some of the potential candidates currently beginning to canvass support secretly for their ambitions.

Among the candidates ready to throw their hats in the ring are two former members of the board, who played prominent roles during the Maigari-led board’s leadership battle with the Chris Giwa faction of the federation and a former president of the board.

A source at the NFF secretariat revealed yesterday that the activities of the potential candidates have generated anxiety among the federation’s staff such that some of them have been accused of divided loyalty.
