NFF president Gusau faces criticism over opaque re-election process
Latest Nigeria News, Nigerian Newspapers, Politics
The Nigeria Football Federation set its elective congress for 27 September in Lafia after a one-day shift, but critics say the process is opaque because amended statutes and the revised electoral code approved at a 23 March Yenagoa assembly have not been published and no nomination form sale date or screening timetable has been announced. An Electoral Committee was named and inaugurated, and state FA chairmen have issued widespread endorsements for incumbent Ibrahim Musa Gusau, while two declared challengers have not completed formal steps; the lack of transparency could affect governance during Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup qualifying.
Amended statutes and the nomination timetable remain unpublished.
Context
Congress approved statute and electoral code amendments in March. The electoral committee was named but the full texts were not published. Observers and challengers may press for publication or a new timetable before the vote.
