A senior chieftain of the divided Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed that the entire members of the Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are card carrying members of the former ruling party.

A double check of the members of the NFF proved the insinuation very true. According to our source, “did you notice that the last two Annual General Assembly were done in PDP confines? Even the one in Lagos is holding in the hotel of controversial PDP Senator, Kashamu. Does it make any sense to you?

Senator Obinna Ogba of the PDP use his office to deliver for their party

If that does not mean anything, are you not aware that the Chairman, Senate Committee on Sports, Obinna Ogba, is PDP? Go and check all the activities of the committee. It has always been in support of the NFF. Even, the alleged volte face of Ogba from the legal tussle on the NFF leadership when he suddenly appeared in their congress in Chida Hotel, it was a party interest.

Does it make any sense to you now that the NFF has been the biggest source of embarrassment to the present Federal Government. Check the Atlanta players boycott, check the management of the Super Falcons protest which is just ending. Check the so-called non release of fund for Eagles’ match against Zambia in Ndola, check the Eagle’s protest on their way to the Confederation Cup.

All the members of the NFF Executive Committee are known PDP card-carrying members who were carefully chosen at the party level and given the mandate to go ahead and step into the Glass House to protect and advance the interest of the then ruling party.

Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye…deliver the election was the instruction he was given

That was why the then Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon Gbenga Elegbeleye (who is now a member of the All Progressives Congress {APC}) was given a standing instruction to proceed to Warri and deliver all the candidates to the PDP.

In Warri, the plot to deliver the PDP tickets 100% was worked out and delivered. Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi who is APC from Osun was tactically walked over. His reaction on the floor of the election which was caught well on television spoke volume.

Another victim of the PDP must have it all was Shehu Dikko who the Directorate of State Security (DSS) and the top hierarchy of the Nigeria Police was deployed to ensure he did not even show on the floor of the election. A security report had to be issued with which he was declared persona non grata while the NFF electoral laws were sidelined.

A third leg of defraying the whole party interest was Ambassador Chris Giwa whose 30th August election was seen as against PDP because he belong to the APC. This prompted the railroading of the rules and a new process begun in Warri even against an Order of court which barred the election in Warri.
