FIFA and CAF representatives on the ground in Benin City consulted with the law books to avoid any form of lacunae.

But after consultations with the international observers, the electoral college decided that Gusau, Akinwunmi, Dikko, Idah and Yola are still in the race.

But Shehu Dikko and Seyi Akinwunmi stepped down from the next process, while Peterside Idah said that he won’t withdraw from the rerun.

In the aftermath of the rerun, Gusau emerged as the new president of the NFF.
