There has been no love lost between the NFF and the Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi for allegedly calling the football house a corrupt body during his speech delivered at last Monday’s Presidential Retreat on Sports held at the instance of President Goodluck Jonathan.
It was gathered that the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation is demanding for an apology from the Governor before making plans to finally accept going for the AGA already fixed for November 22nd, 2012.
The Chief Media Officer of the NFF, Ademola Olajire, however, dispelled the rumour of boycotting Port Harcourt for another venue despite the glaring facts on ground that the Football Federation is irked by Governor Amaechi’s alleged corrupt statement on the NFF.
“The NFF Annual General Assembly will come up on November 22nd, 2012. The initial venue was Port Harcourt but in a few days the NFF will either confirm or say something else. As of now it is Port Harcourt that has been on the table to host the 2012 Annual General Assembly of the Nigeria Football Federation. Arrival is on the 21st of November, 2012 while departure is on the 23rd of November 2012. So within 24 to 48 hours there will be final confirmation of the venue by the NFF”, Olajire disclosed.
