NWFL queries Club Owners Association’s ‘purported’ elections

The Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) has expressed shock at the letter written by the Club Owners Association, dated July 22, to inform the NWFL secretariat of their purported elective meeting on July 21.

In a letter signed by the NWFL Chief Operating Officer, Modupe Shabi, to the chairperson of Delta Queens of Asaba, over the new Club Owners Association, the league body wrote: “I have been directed by the chairperson of the Nigeria Women Football League to inform you that, the process of elections into the office of the executive council of the Club Owners Association of the NWFL, as you are aware, includes notification of the NWFL secretariat, so that it can perform it’s statutory right to monitor the process and conduct of the election.

“Please note that NWFL has no evidence that the election of the executive council of the NWFL that you reportedly held followed this process.”

It added: “The NWFL refers you to the process that produced the executive council that was duly elected in Enugu in 2020. The NWFL monitored and supervised that election and the executive council from the Enugu election is the one the NWFL recognises until the due process of conducting a proper election is followed and the NWFL is notified to monitor the process.

“Accept the assurances of our regards.”
