The Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) says it will not recognize any elected member of Anambra State Football Association as ban on sporting activities has not been lifted.

NFF condemned in totality and disassociated itself from such a charade of very low grade FA election in Anambra.

According to www.brila.net Chairman of Chairmen of Nigerian Football, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau who spoke about the election said the election was conducted by few members.

Gusau revealed that the Electoral Committee had sent to the NFF a letter which they received from the Anambra State COVID-19 Task Force

In the letter, State COVID-19 Task Force requested 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.

“The same Electoral Committee issued a press statement on Monday, 27th July 2020 informing the general public that the elections would no longer hold, and regretted the inconvenience that the sudden postponement may have caused the candidates, delegates, observers, stakeholders and the general public.

“In view of these, it is incomprehensible how anyone could have gone ahead with the charade they are calling ‘election’, and you begin to wonder who actually conducted the so-called election.

The NFF Executive Committee further said, “That was an affront on the Government and the NFF will never be part of it. 

“The Anambra State COVID-19 Task Force made it clear that there should be no such gathering. 

“It is irksome, and let it be said without ambiguity that the NFF does not recognize such a sham and it cannot stand.”
