“There is no reason why the elections should not hold.
One or two states cannot hold the entire nation to ransom.
All the other states have concluded their polls with only one or two who have already fixed the dates for their own elections.
“I have directed that letters be sent to the football associations of these two states, and we are not going to condone any more excuses. Yobe state claimed to have conducted their elections but we found out they did not do this the proper way,” said Maigari.
An electoral committee headed by Alhaji Karmar Abdulkadir had at an election conducted at the VIP Lodge of August 27 Stadium, Damaturu on January 7, declared Alhaji Mohammed Sani Abdulrahaman the winner of the chairmanship election of Yobe state FA. However, it was later found out that the elections were not conducted in line with the NFF statutes.
