The incumbent chairman of Ondo state football association Otunba Dele Ajayi will battle Otunba Dele Ologbese, Ambassador Henry Abiodun and Barrister Remi Adetula in today’s Ondo FA elections.
Ajayi who is a board member of Nigeria football federation defeated Akin Akinbobola at the last election after Ologbese withdrew.
Ondo FA at its February 18th congress agreed on three delegates for the elections viz: incumbent chairman, coaches association and Referee society.
However,the electoral committee on Wednesday outrightly removed ondo state coaches association from voting on the premise of failing to affiliate with Ondo FA.
Dele Ologbese was once the secretary of Ondo state football agency is the current chairman of Akoko south-west football council chairman.
