The sleepy city of Katsina has become agog as Nigerian football politicians are gathered for elective congress of the Nigeria Football Federation.

While the Kabir Aliyu Maska Conference Hall at the Katsina Local Government Commission venue of the event was condoned off on Wednesday for security reasons, it has come alive Thursday morning as delegates and supporters are gathered.

Banners are already up at every available space of the arena. Alliances and realignments are going on ahead of the event expected to begin at 10am.
