State FAs threaten to boycott NFF General Assembly


NFF President, Aminu Maigari

A new twist emerged in the various issues bedeviling the holding of the Annual General Assembly of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) slated for Port Harcourt in December as State FA chairmen have vowed not to attend over the choice of venue, we can authoritatively report.
Our correspondent gathered that board members are divided over the announcement of Port Harcourt as venue for the AGM and the FA chairmen have stated their displeasure with the arrangement.
The position of the FAs was made known on Wednesday by NFF Chairman of Chairmen, Effiong Johnson who was quoted as saying “Even if NFF insist Annual General Assembly goes on in Port Harcourt, the State FA Chairmen won’t go!”
Johnson attacked Vice Chairman, NFF Disciplinary Committee, Iyke Igbokwe, accusing him of ‘speaking irresponsibly’.
NFF has been having problems fixing the date for the AGM with the December choice not yet fully confirmed. The kick against Port Harcourt by the FA chairmen will further withhold the General Assembly at which the NFF is expected to reach new decisions.
The NPL’s own congress has already been called off indefinitely following a direct order from the NFF for it to be put on hold pending when salient matters facing the league board was resolved.
