DON'T GO AGAINST FIFA, NFF STATUS", NANF Warns Okowa

"Respect FIFA, NFF Statutes", NANF Warns Okowa, 

..... Heads For Court.

Ahead of the forthcoming Delta State election into the sports body, the National Association of Nigerian Footballers, NANF has cautioned the Chairman of the Delta state Sports Commission Mr. Tony Okowa not to get involved as it negates the FIFA/NFF Statutes.



According to NANF Chairman in a statement issued in Lagos Wednesday, he raised an alarm wherein, he revealed that Tony Okowa, who incidentally is the younger brother to the state Governor, is planning to hand pick delegates to vote in the forthcoming Delta state election.

This move is contrary to electoral guideline in FIFA and NFF status, particularly, Article 2:2. which states that:
"Principles, obligations and rights of parties, government interference;
Government interference of any kind in the electoral process of the Federation is not permitted...".

To forestall this, the National Association of Nigeria footballers, NANF is planning to get the court in Delta state to stop the election.
