Gusau Sacked As Zamfara Athletics Association Chairman, To Lose AFN Seat
Zamfara State Directorate of Sports Development has announced the removal of Engr Ibrahim Shehu Gusau as chairman of the State Athletics Association.
In a letter addressed to the Secretary-General of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) dated August 17, 2020, and signed by Isikaya Magaji Shameel, the Zamfara State Director of Sports, Gusau was removed after ‘extensive deliberations’ by the management and stakeholders of the state athletics association and that Honourable Jamilu Aliyu Zannan Gusau has been duly appointed as the Chairman of Zamfara Athletics Association.
Honourable Zannan Gusau’s appointment, according to the state’s director of sports was in line with the guidelines governing the appointment of Zamfara Athletics Association chairman.
With this development, Engr Ibrahim Gusau who has dragged the Federal Ministry of Sports, the Honourable Sports Minister, Mr Sunday Dare and the AFN Secretary-General to court over his suspension and subsequent impeachment by the board of the AFN will cease to be a member of the federation’s board.
Engr Gusau will also have to relinquish his position as president of the AFN following his removal as he ceases to be the zonal representative of the North-West zone on the board of the federation, a position which allowed him to contest for the presidency of the AFN in 2017.
The North-West zone will now hold a bye-election where a new zonal representative will be elected into the board of the AFN while the congress of the federation will decide whether Honourable Olamide George, its vice president will be asked to act until new elections are held or he becomes the substantive president.

Joel Ajayi
President Bola Tinubu has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara, political leaders and their supporters in Rivers State to exercise restraint and uphold the rule of law.
In response to recent tensions following last Saturday’s local government council election, the President expressed deep concern over reports of arson and explosions in the state.
He urged all political actors to de-escalate the situation and discourage their supporters from engaging in violence or destructive actions.
President Tinubu directed the police to restore and maintain peace, law, and order immediately.
While instructing law enforcement agencies to bring the situation under control, he emphasised the need to ensure the security of public institutions.
President Tinubu said government facilities built with public funds must be safeguarded from vandalism.
He stressed that self-help has no place in a democratic system, especially after 25 years of continuous democracy.
According to President Tinubu, the judiciary can settle all political disputes, and the outcome of this election should be no exception.
