Chairman of the Anambra Football Association, Chikelue Iloenyosi, has urged southeast football stakeholders to remain calm and be prayerful over the non-election of the zone into the board of the Nigeria Football Federation at the 78th Annual General Assembly of the federation in Benin.
All the other geo-political zone of the country produced two representatives while the South East had only one with their election put on hold.
Reacting to the development, Iloenyosi told media that “I wish to state that the situation is under control. We only have to remain calm and prayerful. The South East will definitely not be short changed. We are going to have our two representatives on the board just like every other zone. What happened in Benin is only a temporary setback which would be corrected soon, very soon,” Chikelue said.
The chairman also took the time to congratulate the newly elected NFF a president as well as the administrative board while stating his belief in them.
“I wish to felicitate with the new NFF President Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau and the new Board of the Nigerian Football Federation. I believe that this present administration can take our football to greater heights,” he concluded.
