NFF move elections to December

Elections into the board of the Nigeria Football Federation have been moved to December by the new leadership of the body.

The elections were originally scheduled to hold at the end of August, but a top member of the NFF informed KickOffNigeria.com that following the meeting in Abuja on Saturday night which saw the impeachment of President Sani Lulu and two of his principal officers, the new board had resolved to move the elections to give all parties a fair shake at the process.

"We resolved to move the elections to December to allow everyone with legitimate grievances to come forward and give us enough time to address those grievances."

Lulu's impeachment still needs to be ratified by the NFF Congress, and KickOffNigeria.com was also informed that that Congress would be convened within a month.

"We intend to call a congress between two weeks to one month from now to brief them on the decisions taken so far by the executive committee and seek ratification."

There is however, a twist in the tail, as some delegates who will make up the Congress informed KickOffNigeria.com that while they will ratify the decision of the Exco to impeach the leadership, they would also be moving to impeach the current leadership as "they were also part of the Lulu administration".
