The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has suspended the Anambra State Federation Cup final, until the leadership crisis in the state is resolved.
This development comes few days after the NFF directed all the 36 Football Associations, to play the final of their Federation Cup this weekend, so it does not disrupt the calender for the year.
“We have had to take the decision to suspend the finale of the Federation Cup competition in Anambra State as a result of the leadership crisis in that State,” NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, said on Friday.
“The programme will remain suspended until the matter is resolved. The chairman of the NFF States’ Elections Monitoring Committee and the Chairman of FA Chairmen, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau, will travel to Anambra State to sit down with the two contending parties and resolve the logjam.”
There is a tug of war in Anambra, over the office of the NFF vice president.
Mike Umeh continues to insist he has been re-elected, while Barrister Jude Obikwelu maintains that Umeh has been voted out. .
