The election of Ibrahim Gusau as the
President of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria has been annulled.
The annulment was announced on Friday
in Abuja, by the National Sports Federations Elections Petitions
Appeal Committee during a media briefing.
The committee having looked at the
petition sent in by Charles Eyo, who was meant to contest from the
north-east but was disqualified to clear the way for Gusau to contest
unopposed, was upheld.
A bye-election has, therefore, been
fixed for July 7 in Abuja.
Also, Brown Ebewele and Rosa Collins
have both been reinstated into the new AFN board as both individuals
won their appeals for unjust disqualification.
Ebewele won the coaches and technical
directors elections but his name was substituted with Gad Onoegbu. On
her part Rosa Collins who won the National Women in Sports, NAWIS,
election but was surprisingly replaced by Gloria Obajimi has now been
returned as the rightful representative on the AFN board.
