Daily Sunsports gathered at the secretariat of the Nigeria football governing body that the meeting was necessitated by the controversies surrounding the build-up to the general election coming up at the end of this month in Abuja, in addition to the board formally briefing the minister on happenings when was outside the country.
Our source further added that the parley was also in connection with the alleged directive from the security agency to the Chief Mike Umeh-led NFF board not to hold the yesterday’s proposed board meeting convened to review the build up to the election and deliberate on the reports of the committee that reviewed the ban clamped on some football stakeholders by the Aminu Maigari-led board.
Our correspondent who was among the journalists keeping vigil at the Glass House also reported that some other members of the NFF board like Chief Emeka Enyama, Barrister Chris Green, Felix Anyansi, Ahmed Fresh, and Hon. Kwande among others waited for several hours for the meeting initially scheduled for 3.00pm.
Confirming the situation, a member of the board told Daily Sunsports in confidence that the meeting with the minister was to address the litany of concerns expressed by stakeholders concerning the election.
