FORMER president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Aminu Maigari, former Secretary General of the Federation, Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi and Dr Amos Adamu have given a pass mark to the hierarchy of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club (NPSC), for the peaceful conduct of its elections, on Saturday in Lagos.
The trio were part of observers for the voting and they gave the remarks during their goodwill messages at the Legacy Hall of Teslim Balogun Stadium.
The football administrators gave a nod to the transparency of the electoral committee, coupled with orderly conducts of various delegates from 19 states of the Federation, including Abuja.
Earlier in his welcome address, the President General of the Club and Chairman of the BoT, Dr Rafiu Ladipo had described the body as a model for others despite growing from nothing to something in its 61 years of its existence. He disclosed that NFSC has chapters and offices across the world, “a feat made possible through the sacrifices and dues from our committed members”, he added.
Dr Ladipo then urged members to be more steadfast while extending a hand of fellowship to members who have strayed out of line, provided they are remorseful.
The elections saw the former Secretary General, Reverend Samuel Ikpea emerging as the new chairman after polling 168 votes to beat Alarape Muritala.
Others officers s elected are the first, second and third vice chairman respectively, the Assistant Secretary General, the Welfare and Social Secretary.
While announcing the results, Dr Bolaji Ojo-Oba described the elections as the best in recent times.
Responding after the swearing in, Reverend Ikpea promised to run an open and all inclusive administration.
Other dignitaries at the elections included Messrs Kunle Solaja, Yomi Opakunle and Alhaj T.A. Yussuf.
