It appears the trains of the elections in-to the board of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has left the Terminus.
The contestants are gear up for the elections despite an overwhelming ‘consensus’ that some changes need to be made to the elections rules in order to be able to usher in a new error and regime of football development following the failures of the out-going board as evidenced in the empty shelf for trophies in the football house.
Only those directly involved in the affairs of the football federation in the past 8 years of the board would consider the period anything else but a failure.
That major of players in that board have the audacity to seek to become the next President raises questions about the process of the elections. Ordinarily, they should or would not secure a single vote if the public sentiments about them is to be interpreted. Even the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, had to take the unprecedented step of pointing out that amendments are needed and should be effected to provide the platform for more equitable elections to take place.
To all intents and purposes his wise counsel is being disregarded, totally ignored. The elections by the same old ‘failed’ people and process are expected to produce a different result. Who is fooling who?
