Ahead of the meeting of the Minister of youth and sports, Sunday Dare with all the Presidential aspirants of the NFF Election , news have filtered in that some of the candidates will not be present.
Nine individuals have been cleared to contest for the post of NFF President but uncertainties have surrounded if the election will hold on the 30th of September in Benin following a court order stopping the polls on Friday.
Out of the nine candidates vying for the NFF top seat , two of them seem to have opted not to honor the Minister’s meeting on Tuesday ,which will be a sign of a direct affront to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Unconfirmed report have it that, the Former LMC chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko and his Zamfara state counterpart Ibrahim Gusau are the two aspirants who have opted to shun the Minister’s meeting .
The reason for this is not clearly known but it might not be far from the cold fight the outgoing board of the NFF is having with the Sports Minister over not wanting the Minister to have a say on the affairs of football in the Country.
The Sports Minister Sunday Dare has repeatedly made it clear that the NFF is a Government Parastatal and there is a difference between Government intervention and interference.
