The Chief Executive Officer of Warri Wolves, Moses Etu, has commended the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, for his swift intervention in stopping the election into DFA until after the Nations Cup.
According to Etu, NFF President has done the right thing by coming out to stop this mess, insisting that the five-man reconciliation committee will do every stakeholder favour to organize a credible election.
Etu revealed that all elections to DFA Board has always taken place in Asaba but a faction has moved their own to the creeks in Warri while the other faction would have organized their own in Asaba.
“I want to commend NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, for coming out to save us from this embarrassment. If not for him, by Thursday, we would have been having two DFA Chairmen. One emerging from the creeks in Warri and the other from Asaba. With what he has done, a credible election will now take place with NFF supervising it. ”
Etu also advised all football stakeholders to sheath their words and look for an amicable resolution to the whole crisis.
” I want to appeal to all football stakeholders to calm down and pray for an amicable resolution to this crisis. We can still get it right by allowing the matter to be resolved.”
” We should not make it a do or die affair as football would be greatly affected in the state like in the past 4 years when nothing is on the ground to show for what I can describe as wasted years,” Etu said.
The DFA elections have been postponed indefinitely pending when the crisis rocking the football in Delta State is resolved amicably.
