A Nigeria Football Federation Board member representing the South-South, Rt. Hon. Nse Essien has attributed the dwindling performance of Nigeria’s Super Eagles in all competitions in the recent times to sports politics.
He also identified poor refereeing/officiating as hampering the growth of the Nigeria Professional Football League and assured that the calendar for the Federation Cup, would be harmonized to be in tune with the NPFL. His words, “This is a challenge not just to the NFF, but the entire country. I have also seen a situation where the league is haphazardly run, we need to be in competition with other leagues in Africa.
“We are looking at a situation where the Federation Cup will run simultaneously with the League, and not a situation where clubs are given slots underservedly, to go and represent Africa, which is not the best for us. The teams that have wining capacities should be the team that should represent Nigeria in Africa.
