The Nigeria Football Federation has described the purported reelection of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah as the Anambra State FA chairman on Monday as “an act of brigandage.
”
“The said notice is an attempt at organising elections into the board and local councils of the Anambra State Football Association, in fragrant disregard to existing government policy banning elections into associations and unions in Anambra State as part of efforts at curbing the spread of COVID-19.
“That was an act of brigandage and the NFF fully dissociates itself from it. The Electoral Committee sent to the NFF a letter which they received from the Anambra State COVID-19 Task Force, requesting that the elections into the State FA and the local football councils be postponed, in line with the situation in the country, as the ban on sporting activities and mass gatherings was still alive,” Gusau said in the statement.
Efforts to reach Ubah for his reaction proved abortive. He did not pick our correspondent’s call and was yet to respond to text message sent to him as at the time of filing this report.
