(ABUJA)
The crisis that has hit the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) doesn’t seem to have abated despite the expected sitting of the General Assembly slated for Tuesday at Chida Hotel, Abuja, as the three main actors in this saga have been reportedly whisked away by men of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) earlier today.
This is coming just after the Glass House Secretariat of the Football Federation was engulfed in flames last week in which some offices were burnt and property damaged.
The NFF executive committee had earlier sat last Sunday and resolved that the congress, earlier scheduled for Warri, Delta State, will now hold on Tuesday this week to fashion out a road map for the elections that was to take place on the 26th of August.
“It has been agreed that the Congress take place in Abuja instead of Warri, but there will be no elections on Tuesday, 26th August,”" Amadu was quoted to have said after the meeting on Sunday.
“The Congress will only fashion out a road map for the elections, with the elective Congress expected to come up not later than two weeks after the Congress of Tuesday, 26th August.”Ahmadu affirmed
Suffice to say, this has now hit a brick wall as it will be left to see if the General Assembly will eventually take place giving the latest round of events.
Incumbent President, Aminu Maigari, General Secretary Musa Ahmadu and Mike Umeh, who is the First Vice President of the NFF were taken to an unknown destination for question by the state security services, a move which might derail the eventual sitting of the General Assembly.
Umeh who hd earlier insisted that Maigari’s hold to the President position was illegal, has refused to recognised the former’s return and has insisted he (Maigari) had willingly resigned, from his position and there cannot lay claim to the position.
Supersport.com can also report that 26 state chairmen, who are supposedly in support of Maigari were planning a protest to the Headquarters of the DSS, to request the immediate release of Aminu Maigari and the General Secretary Musa Ahmadu.
“We won’t allow this to happen, this is not right, I feel the President (Maigari) is being targeted unfairly,” a delegate from North Central, who didn’t want his name mentioned ,told supersport.com.
“If the process is going to be fair, everyone should be allowed in irrespective of who resigned or not, that has to be the first step.” he added.
