The decision of the appeal committee filed by aggrieved candidates after the elections of Anambra State Football Association (ANSFA) and Local Football Council (LFC) held on 29 and 30 October 2020 has been nullified by the Congress of board and Local Football Council (LFC).
Mr Chikelue Iloenyosi, a sole Chairmanship contestant of State FA unanimously rejected by delegates, had appealed the election outcome and the appeal committee ruled among other things that a rerun should be conducted within two weeks.
But the congress in a communique issued at the end of an extraordinary General Assembly held in Awka, the state capital, said they were nullifying the appeal committee decision on basis of non evidence of payment of appeal fee in violation of Article 33 (4) of the Anambra state football statutes.
The congress, presided over by Engr. Victor Aniekwena, Vice Chairman of the board and attended by 20 out of 23 members, equally ratified the FA board and LFC elections, as well as commended the electoral committee.
They, however, resolved to conduct a bye election to fill the vacant positions in the Anambra state football association board and the local football council in February 2021.
They also passed a vote of confidence on the Anambra state football association board led by Vice Chairman, Engr. Victor Aniekwena.
