A column by Patrick Omorodion examines the ongoing crisis within the Nigeria Basketball Federation ahead of its board election scheduled for Abuja on Thursday. The piece draws a comparison between Nigerian national elections and elections into sports federations, arguing that the same tactics used by politicians have been introduced into sports administration. It raises concerns about an outgoing federation president allegedly removing elected board members, manipulating the federation's congress and disenfranchising members perceived as unsupportive. The column states that a majority of stakeholders have made allegations concerning State Associations Chairmen.
