NFF ELECTIONS: THE FRAUDULENT AND INJUSTICE

NFF Boss, Maigari...condoning open but proven fraud?

In every election form a candidate or an aspirant fills, he/she is expected to give all data about him or herself in truth wherein anywhere any such datum is found to be untrue, such a candidate stands disqualified. In some nations they are prosecuted for perjury. This is in view of the fact that the person filling such forms is assumed to have sworn on oath to provide the truth about the self.

Ms. Dili Onyedinma, the ‘elected’ Chairman of the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) is certainly not fit to occupy that office. She perjured. She lied on oath. She and her sponsors were too desperate that they moved from mischief to another. From one lie to another.

FRAUDULENT CANDIDATE:

A ‘good’ mother should be so reliable that everything she tells her wards as seen as sacrosanct.  It will be utterly disappointing for Ms. Onyedinma’s children to know that their mummy is a liar. That she does not have a character that is reliable and stable.

The deeper truth is Ms. Onyedinma’s sponsors misled her. So I want to believe. She filled Imo State as her state of origin, thus, she is from the South-East political divide of the football zoning. Upon realizing that her chances may be dimmed by Statutory provisions, they changed her state of origin in the NFF official brochure to FCT and thus, North Central zone.

As a deputy director of sports in the FCT Sports Council, wherefrom Sani Abdullahi Lulu came out to become the NFA President. She is eminently qualified to so emerge. Having earlier filled Imo and hours later changed to FCT smirks of inconsistency and fraud.

In all, she and her sponsors, deserve good commendations. They took 20 rooms, house the delegates for three days, fed them morning, afternoon and evening and atop it N50, 000K for each delegate.

In all, busy-bodies (as Dr Bolaji Ojo-Oba will call Nigerian football fans) say she must have spent about N10m. how come a salaried public servant spent so much money? Where did she get the money? Could it have been her savings? Or were there some forces behind her shadow who provided the money.

EMEKA INYAMA:

Club Chairman and journalist, Emeka Inyama, took the form of the NFF Electoral Committee. He paid. Submitted same and declared he is from Abia State. He went through the electoral process, was elected, sworn-in and given the electoral victory certificate.

Rumours. Yes, rumours. That is what I believe is being peddled about. We were told inside the grapevine that the election is cancelled. Another quality of the rumours say he has been disqualified because of the clause in the statute. That is days after the election has been considered to have been concluded!

My take is at this stage who has the powers to so disqualify him or and cancel the election? The NFF President? The NFF board or Mr. Abdulhamid Mustapha’s Electoral committee? Or better still, the Electoral Appeal Committee? On what grounds? Who is doing the protest? When was the decision taken, where and by who?

In sum, the external forces controlling our football took a gun, shot themselves on the foot and thereafter, want the shot foot back and intact. Haba!

On the election ground, Christian Chukwu was disqualified because Inyama was already ‘elected’ since Inyama’s came before his. This was calculated on the ground that Mike Umeh and Felix Anyasi-Agwu have already been on the board. The powers that be prefer to retain Ms. Dili Onyedinma and wished to sacrifice Inyama. Ask quickly, what does Chukwu want on the board of the NFF. Agreed that those there presently are not better than Chukwu.

Please ask, was the same Electoral Committee not aware that there was a sitting member of the NFF board from Abia State and refuse ab initio to collect Inyama’s money?

Having clearly breached the NFF Statute 2010 violently upon stealing the powers that does not belong to them in conducting the elections (which I have already taken to FIFA in a protest), the NFF needed to use Emeka Inyama as a pawn on their chess board.

It is true that both of them are from Abia State. I have visited the Statute again. I did not see anywhere whence the grund norm mentioned state representation. What the law has is that no zone should have less than two and no zone should have more than three.

I have the same opinion that though the NFF 2010 Statute is jaundiced but then, by its provisions both men (Felix Anyasi-Agwu and Emeka Inyama) can sit on the NFF board.

Imputations cannot be bought into the issues and prescription of law that does not exist. The law says the chairman can come from any state but the members are those it specified where they can come from.

Had Maigari’s board been so responsible and respectable of the NFF  statute, if the leagues had variously conducted their elections, Inyama like Dili will never have emerged. Secondly, since the law says the chairman of the leagues (Professional, Women, National and Amateur) can come from any geo-political zone. By this prescription, their emergence will not be subjected to extraneous interpretations like it is being bandied.

CONCLUSION:

Those who are close to the house of confusion called the Nigerians Feeding on Football (NFF) should please advise them, they have messed up their integrities and honour with the unholy manipulations they’ve been involved in and should find a more responsible way to solve their problems than killing a sound mind on the board.
