Two Athletics Federation of Nigeria Presidents may emerge

Nigerian athletics may witness another round of crisis on Monday, as two presidents are likely to emerge in separate elections of the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN).

For over two years, peace has eluded the nation’s athletics following a leadership crisis, which led to the emergence of two groups, one led by Engr. Ibrahim Shehu Gusau and the other by Olamide George.

To end the crisis, officials of World Athletics (WA) and the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA), came to Nigeria, where the two factions were told to hold a congress that will usher in a new board on or before June 14.
