The Chairman of the Anambra Football Association Chief Chikelue Iloenyosi has warmly congratulated the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau on his emergence as the new President of the West African Football Union (WAFU).

Speaking to Newspathfinder, Chief Iloenyosi said the development marks a significant milestone for Nigerian football, expressing his delight in seeing another Nigerian leader take the helm of one of Africa’s most prestigious football organizations.

The Chairman noted that the NFF President’s ascension to the WAFU presidency is a testament to his dedication, leadership skills, and commitment to the development of football in the region.

He expressed confidence that the President’s vision and expertise would greatly benefit West African football, and pledged the full support of the Anambra Football Association in his new role.

He expressed optimism that under the President’s leadership, WAFU would achieve great things, and Nigerian football would continue to thrive and grow.

“The NFF President’s emergence as WAFU President is a great opportunity for Nigerian football to play a more prominent role in shaping the future of the sport in West Africa”,

“This development will not only enhance the profile of Nigerian football but also provide a platform for the country to continue showcasing its footballing talent and expertise on a larger stage”.

The Chairman concluded by wishing the NFF President success in his new role and reaffirming the Anambra Football Association’s commitment to supporting his efforts to promote and develop football in West Africa.

It would be recalled that earlier today the Nigeria Football Federation President, Ibrahim Musa Gusau was elected as the President of WAFU Zone B.

He was before now, the 1st Vice President of the West African sub-regional football body, having been elected in November 2024.

He was installed as the President following the resignation of Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association, who left the WAFU B number one seat following his election into the Executive Committee of the Confederation of African Football two months ago.

Alhaji Gusau thus becomes the fifth Nigerian to hold a top position in the West African subregional football body.

Others before him include the founding president, Joseph Kwamina Tandoh, who at the time was a vice chairman of the then Nigeria Football Association (NFA).

He is the father of Dr Kweku Tandoh, the Executive Secretary of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the ongoing 22nd National Sports Festival in Ogun State.

The other Nigerian who had led WAFU are Jonathan Boytie Ogufere from 1988 to 1994; Abdulmumini Aminu (1999 to 2002) and Amos Adamu (2008 to 2010), under whose tenure, the hitherto 16-nation body was divided into two – WAFU A and WAFU B.
