....Does WFL,NNL AND NLO Boards Exists Beyond 30th September, 2018?
By Aminu Abba Kwaru.
As this season almost comes to an end,2018 Season in Nigeria Football spectators witnesses unwanted Challenges across the leagues.
As we all know,football in Nigeria are guided by the statutes of FIFA,NFF and three aforementioned leagues Statutes, this make it necessary for every board to form an electoral Committee to organized an election into the above boards hen never their tenure expired.
Previously Nigeria National League, Nigeria Nation wide league and Women Football League are getting their board members through elections.
But nowadays, CHIEF CHIDI OKENWA was appointed as NNL Independent Chairman, AISHA FOLADE was appointed as Independent Chairperson of WFL While Muhammed Alkali the FA Chairman of Nassarawa State was appointed as NNWL Independent Chairman.
Why the NFF chooses to appoint the above 3 Boards as against the wishes of the affected Clubs?
If the NFF Board uses election to elect its President and other Board Members why they choose to select the board of Nigeria National League, Women Football League and Nigeria Nation wide League?
Please read below (NLO Statues)
ARTICLE 11:- LEAGUE BOARD
1. There shall be established for the NNWL a governing board (hereafter
referred as the Board). It shall consist of:-
a. Six representatives of the NNWL clubs registered with the NNWL from the
six geopolitical zones excluding the position of chairman
2. All members of the Board shall be elected at a general assembly duly
convened for that purpose........
4. The guidelines for the elections shall be provided by the Electoral
Committee to be set up by the board, under the supervision of the NFF.
5. Such representative as elected to the board or maybe elected to serve their
clubs shall be bonafide members of their respective clubs involved in the
day to day running of the clubs affairs and have been of such good standard
within their respective clubs for not less than Six(6) months prior to being
nominated to serve their clubs.
6. Such representative will remain on the board irrespective of his/her status
on the club, till the end of the tenure of the board, but he/she cannot
contest re-election, unless reappointed into a clubs management.
7. The tenure of the board shall be four (4) years from the date of its

The function of the board shall be:-
a. To appoint an Executive Secretary
b. To approve the appointment of others NNWL staff on the
recommendations of the Executive Secretary.......
k. To organize election for the incoming board, under the supervision of the
NFF.
By 12am today the tenure of Alkali,Okenwa and Folade will be no more, then what is going to happen as NFF is yet to have a meeting?
Let's allows the Club owners to chose their board as it is before. The time of dictating the affairs of others has gone.
Alkali is the Nassarawa State Football Association, he doesn't have any club in NLO why the NFF chooses to contraven the above NLO Article?
The tenure of ALHAJI AHMAD MU'AZU KAWU will not be forgotten in the minds of NLO Clubs owners in Nigeria were the Teams that will go for Play off will be sponsored 100%, Transport and Accommodation included,as against now, were the 100 Million Naira Pipul TV and undisclosed Starling Bank Sponsorship still need explanation.
Remember by 12am Sunday 30th,September, 2018 Alkali, Folade and Okenwa are not Independent Chairmen of their various board, and the board doesn't exist.
WHAT NEXT?
