The Federation is now going to the streets exclaiming ‘interference’ when they actually owe existence and recognition to the Government of Nigeria.

The N.F.F have turned a blind eye to their illegitimacy due to the illegal status on which they stand and are still being seen as wanting not to obey the supremacy of Nigeria’s law.

“We urge the Federal Government to ask EFCC and ICPC to immediately conduct a forensic audit on the NFF and the wanton financial mismanagement and misappropriation going on in the Glass House. They would be shocked to find an unprecedented level of theft.
