Despite suffering an emergency postponement,

The crisis ridden election into the board of Edo State Football Association is not far from any danger.

The election which was originally slated for 3rd of March was curiously shifted to 31st of the same month due to alleged state government interference. 

Almost all the state FA elections in the past four years were plagued with one crisis or the other and Edo state FA election is not an exemption. 

An impeccable source who hinted Apexmedia2020.blogspot.com about the happenings in Edo state is convinced that due process would be applied if the FA Secretariat do the needful. 

Our source agreed that there were irregularities in the state's football local council elections and the process has to start all over again. 

"Nothing is actually wrong and we are only waiting for the day of election but the only area of concern is the local govt level they did earlier"

According to our source, the Edo Election is not far from attracting litigation upon litigation going by the numbers of petitions already on the table.

"Some of their members have written petition to the sports commission challenging the legitimacy of those picked at that level"

The State FA Scribe has been named as part of those fanning the furnace of fire regarding the Edo Election. 

"Those complaining said the whole thing was done by the FA secretariat without carrying everybody along".

It is now obvious that there is going to be a little hiccups in repeating the process.

"They are likely going to repeat the process,make it open and give enough notice".

However stakeholders are anxiously waiting for a free and fair election to take place at the end of this month.

"We are waiting for them to come up with their next line of action" .
