Nigerian sporting fraternity which has known relative peace since Sunday Dare took charge as Sports Minister may have been thrown into another round of crisis following the suit filed by NFF board member and Women League chairperson, Aisha Falode against a former board member of Nigerian Football Association and former chairman of Gombe Football Association, Alhaji Ahmed Shuaibu Gara Gombe.
In the suit filed in an Abuja High Court, Falode is demanding for a staggering N1bn as a claim for defamation by Gara Gombe, who according to Falode stated in a radio program that the Women League Chairperson was not elected but appointed, which negates the legal status of her position on the board of the NFF and her designation or appointment as Women League Chairperson.
The investigation has revealed that Gara Gombe’s response to Falode’s court summons may be challenging the legality of her appointment alongside three others who are on the board of the NFF without being elected.
The NFF could be dragged into the matter given that there had been about four previous matters addressed by the High Court, Appeal Court, and Supreme Court over the legality of the leadership of the NFF following the dark shadow cast of the transformation from the NFA to NFF.
