Tunisia ’94 AFCON winner Fuludu along with ex-national teammate Victor Ikpeba were elected the DFA chairman and vice chairman respectively at an election in Warri in June 2019. But Nwamucha maintained that he remained the legitimate DFA chairman, claiming the election into the state FA board last year was stage-managed by Fuludu without the supervision of the NFF. The retired Eagles midfielder alleged that the NFF wanted him out of the state FA. Its FIFA’s new idea meant to resolve crisis, but there was no crisis in the Delta FA. Instead, they forced the normalisation committee to conduct an election against a court order.
