Ugochukwu Ifeanyi and Amaechi Agbo

It is only a man of impeccable, unquestionable and development-oriented leader that his credibility and astuteness be put to test twice and he emerge unblemished, victorious and triumphant.

Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has undergone these rigorous test in a space of five days and came out triumphant as he twice got the nods of the Anambra State Football Association, ANSFA congress and the 2020-2024 electoral committee affirmed his second term in office as number one football man in the Light of the Nation.

On Monday, July 27, 2020, Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah who represents Anambra South Senatorial District, was returned unopposed by 22 out of 26 congress members of the ANSFA.

However, following Anambra State government’s directive that the election cannot hold physically in the state in view of the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic and therefore put a halt to the election, the Electoral Committee rescheduled the election for Saturday, August 2, 2020.

Strangely, though innovatively, this time, it was to hold via virtual means.

Like a warrior set for a war he is certain not to lose, Senator Ubah again went in to reaffirm that what happened on Monday 27, was never a fluke.

The results of the historic ANSFA virtual elections which lasted for hours came out late Saturday night and not unexpectedly, Ifeanyi Ubah returned yet again, unopposed as the Chairman of the Anambra State Football Association for the next 4 years

Also returned unopposed is Barr Obikwelu as his Vice while some huge surprises were recorded as Academy Owner, former Rangers Coach and
player, Emeka Ralph (aka Sarafi) alongside Udennaka Anthony Bebeto and Emeka Okeke were ousted while Philip Balepo made it into the Executive Council of the ANSFA for the next 4 years

With the unsuccessful return of the above mentioned trio, the drama might not yet be over as reactions would be expected as a result of this

By this election, Anambra State FA can now focus fully on the task at hand without worrying about government interference, having done the same election twice with the same outcome to prove that the Anambra State Football Stakeholders and Congress are firmly behind Ifeanyi Ubah at least for the next 4 years

Congratulations to the Ifeanyi Ubah-led FA for this amazing achievement and a big congratulations to Jude Anyadufu for successfully running the first virtual FA elections in the world without hiccups
