With less than one month to the election of officials into the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Football Association (FA), Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) FCT chapter has appealed to all Stakeholders involved to ensure strict adherence to the modalities specifically designed to guide the election.

In a Press statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday and signed by the Secretary-General, Ikenna Okonkwo, the professional body whose primary responsibility includes playing a watchdog and agenda-setting role in sports writing and reporting, hinted that no effort would be spared in exposing any ill or desperate moves geared towards manipulating the outcome of the exercise.

While calling on various interests to be guided by enabling laws, SWAN further warns that nobody either serving or intending to join the board of FCT FA should deploy mischievous approach in realising his or her ambition.

After reviewing happenings in recent times, SWAN equally beckones on members of the Electoral and Appeal committee to completely focus on delivery the crucial job at their hands without bias as well as detach themselves from any form of emotional and physical inducement.

Sports Writers in the Nation’s capital further encourage would-be Electorate to ensure that their decisions to elect those that will pilot the affairs of FCT FA are strictly guided in fairness and objectivity especially at the moment when football administration in Abuja requires creative leaders that will expand its scope of grassroots development.

SWAN however assures of its readiness to always partner all sporting federations, associations and other sporting interests in realising accelerated growth in Nigerian football.
