The Hall is ready for the elections but no Delegates yet Amaju Pinnick, Amanze Uchegbulam, Abba Yola, Shehu Dikko, Dominic Iorfa, Mike Umeh and Taiwo Ogunjobi are all involved in what should be an almighty slugfest. Things are warming up already and we'll be bringing you live updates all day long 9:00AM Venue of the election was scheduled to be at Amaju Pinnick's Brownhill Events Centre. But there has been a last minute change. It has been moved to Golden Tulip Hotel where all the Delegates and participants are lodged 9:20AM Elective Congress is scheduled to start at 11AM, but there is controversy already. A rift has developed between some FA chairmen and their secretaries. Apparently, some of the Chairmen are alleged to gave been 'seen' so they can vote a particular candidate and they did not 'carry their secretaries along'. Their secretaries, who are also joint Delegates, are said to be very upset. 9:50AM Meanwhile, Shehu Dikko is still nowhere to be seen. Reports are that he has not been allowed into Warri at all. And even if he does somehow finds his way in, it is doubtful he will be allowed into the venue. Last night, he was asked to step down. He refused. 11:45AM Congress still hasn't started. Most delegates still in their rooms. Serious politicking going on. Heavy security in and around the hotel. 11:47AM Source close to Dikko tells me his agent has been denied accreditation and his name is off the ballot. Yet to confirm that. Dikko is also still being held back in Abuja. Unconfirmed sources close to him say all aircraft flying into Warri are being inspected. It's nearly an hour after the Congress was due to start. The hall is Delegate- less 12:00 One hour behind schedule. Only media and a few Observers are in the hall. Rumours circulating that the Electoral Committee chairman has been arrested are true. He was picked up by security operatives from the hotel this morning 12:10 Electoral committee chairman has been released and is on his way back to the venue 12:20 NFF Communications Director Ademola Olajire just stepped on the podium to announce that the Congress will start in 15 minutes 12:40 Chairman, House Committee on Sports, Godfrey Gaiya; NSC DG Gbenga Elegbeleye and Bolaji Ojoba just arrived. We are about to start. Nearly two hours behind schedule 12:50 We should be underway soon. 12:58 National Anthem, opening prayers (Christian and Moslem) and we are officially underway. I spoke too soon. Power just went off for a couple of minutes. A minute's silence for members of the Nigerian football family who passed on in past one year, especially for sports journalist Godwin Spiff-Sagbamah who passed on this morning 1:05PM BREAKING: Impeccable source tells me Shehu Dikko has unofficially withdrawn from the NFF race. His supporters have been asked to go ahead and NOT vote him even if his name is on the ballot 'for peace to reign'. Delegates who wanted to vote Dikko, were threatening to stall the process by voting for him irrespective. But have been prevailed upon 1:09PM NFF President Aminu Maigari addressing the Congress now, reeling out the successes of his administration. 1:30PM Gbenga Elegbeleye and Godfrey Gaiya have both addressed the Congress. More recognitions taking place. Unnecessary, in my opinion 1:30PM First session over. Tea break. Dignitaries will leave from there 2:07PM Second session about to start. The main business of the day. Hearing Amanze Uchegbulam and Taiwo Ogunjobi have been asked to step down or be arrested over their pending warrants Both resisting. |

Re: Amaju Pinnick Is New NFF President by Samunique(m): 4:43pm On Sep 30, 2014 |
Considering his track records in Delta state, i can bold say, " it's a new dawn for Nigeria football". I just pray the usual bad eggs in NFF will not frustrate his efforts as usual. |
Re: Amaju Pinnick Is New NFF President by etebefia: 4:48pm On Sep 30, 2014 |
I hope he delivers, meanwhile for the fact that he is from delta state does not mean that stephen keshi should be retained. |
Re: Amaju Pinnick Is New NFF President by Nobody: 5:02pm On Sep 30, 2014 |
Gov. Uduaghan has used Delta State money to secure Amaju's victory. The moment I saw Amaju's name on the list and the election is holding in Warri I knew he had already won. This guy is an in-law to Uduaghan. Uduaghan practically raised him to the level he is today, right from being Delta FA charman to NFF chairman. |
