Ex-Nigeria international Segun Odegbami has lamented the state the Nigeria Football Federation has found itself in the past weeks which led to theworld football governing body threatening to ban the country.
The NFF elections are expected to hold on September 30.
“It is a disaster that happens every four years and unless we do something about it, there will be a repeat of this disaster in the next four years,” Odegbami told Goal.
“There is something wrong and we have to identify and fix it. The electoral process is very faulty no wonder we are not progressing administratively because our football is growing steadily.”
He added, “I registered my intention to be part of the process, to contest a position in the executive committee of the NFF.
“I didn’t pick up a form to contest the presidency, all I wanted to do is to find space within the executive committee and I did that because I realised that if you don’t buy a ticket, you will never win a lottery.
“I purchased the ticket to examine the system and find out what it is and immediately I was disqualified, though, the decision was reversed. And after that, there have been all manner of confusion and crises.
“We don’t know who to blame, we don’t know what the issues are and not to talk about the solution. It is all about confusion.”
The former Green Eagles captain, however, did not rule out himself completely from heading the Nigeria football house in years to come.
