According to fresh reports, FIFA and CAF have halted the elections of the Nigerian Football Federation following the resignation of Gusau.
FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) have reportedly directed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to suspend its ongoing electoral process pending a review of the leadership crisis affecting the country’s football administration.
According to a report by Leadership, the directive was communicated in a letter dated September 7, 2026, signed by FIFA Chief Member Associations Officer Elkhan Mammadov and addressed to NFF Deputy General Secretary Emmanuel Ikpeme.
The reported intervention follows notifications concerning the resignation of the NFF President, members of the Executive Committee and the General Secretary. FIFA and CAF are said to be examining the legal, administrative, governance and electoral consequences of the developments.
