October 25, (THEWILL) – The Electoral Committee of the man shadow (NBBF) is leaving no stone left to fulfil their duty as the 2021 elections continue to generate interest. The electoral procedure, which is backed by a Congress-certified constitution, is the first of its sort in Nigerian basketball history.
The vote would be done in accordance with the rules of the 2019 NBBF legislation, according to a communiqué signed by the Electoral Committee Chairman Dr Lanre Glover and its Secretary, Barrister Emma Okibe.
They said that making this notification was necessary to put an end to rumours about voter composition and eligibility.
The communique stated: “It has been brought to the attention of the Electoral Committee that some people are not clear on who can vote and how many votes are available.
“The NBBF Statute is clear on this. For the President and Vice President, there are 50 votes to be cast. 36 States Associations and the Federal Capital Territory have a vote each.
“Elected representatives of the 6 Geo Political Zones have a vote each alongside Technical Representative, Players Union, NAWIS, Military/Paramilitary, Continental/International Rep, Corporate Sponsor and NAPHERSD with one vote each.”
According to the NBBF Statute, the Zonal Elections shall take place before the elections for President and Vice President to decide the Representatives who will join the pool of 44.
The much-anticipated NBBF elections will be held in Benin City on Saturday, September 30th, 2021.
