The proprietor of Giwa FC was voted in ahead of the former vice president in Abuja on Tuesday as the DSS also arrested former president Aminu Maigari and Musa Amadu

Christopher Giwa, the chairman of Nigeria Professional League club side Giwa Football Club, has been elected as the new president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

He polled 27 votes to defeat his challenger former vice president Mike Umeh who got two votes in an election where 29 out of 44 members participated in the voting exercise.

Before the elections, NFF chieftains including the NFF General Secretary Musa Adamu and some states delegates were arrested by the Department of State Security Services (DSS) and interrogated.

The elected officials were then sworn in by a notary public Frank Ike Chude.

Former board member Obinna Ogba was sworn in as vice president as he was unopposed while former security committee chairman, Effiong Johnson emerged the Chairman of Chairmen having polled 28 votes.

The North Central produced Yahaya Adama and Sani Mohammed as board members while Muasu Suleiman and Sherif Inuwa emerged North West representatives in the new board.

Felix Agu Anyansi retained his position on the board to represent the South East alongside Felix Amechi Ogwa.

Deji Tinubu also retained his position as representative of the South West with Otunba Sunday also coming on board.

The electoral process was not coordinated by either the seating president of the NFF or the general secretary Barrister Amadu who allegedly walked out of the election hall at the Chida International Hotels.

given a position.

I know this man would emerge as the president even before the election. Sport politics is so predictable.

is the post of the NFF President an exclusive right for northerners? past 3 Presidents have been from the north. #Just asking







last bullet: hope Giwa Fc football club wont be given preferential treatment and favours now that their owner is the new NFF boss

Okay

Am glad this is finally over. Now keshi can b in focus. By the way keshi has agreed to coach nigeria for the next 2 matches atleast until his contract is signed. Source; minister of sports earlier today

I hope he doesn't end like his predecessor

Hmmmm, Hope him go do well.

CONGRAT!

But seriously, what concerns DSS with football matters? If truly Maigari stole, shouldnt that be d job of EFCC or maybe Police? Shouldnt they (DSS) be concerned with the Nation's security as the name says?

Babyboy1986: Hmmmm.
