Former NJF President Musa Oshodi Disqualified from Elections by Caretaker Committee

Posted : 23 October 2026

The leadership crisis in the Nigeria Judo Federation has worsened following strict sanctions imposed by the newly formed caretaker committee. Former president Dr Musa Oshodi and his entire dissolved board have been disqualified from contesting the federation's upcoming electoral congress.

 

The interim panel, led by chairman Sheriff Hammed, announced the decision through an official notice sent to stakeholders, state associations, and coaches. The committee also proposed suspending Oshodi and his former board members from all national judo activities for five years. Officials cited non-compliance with National Sports Commission governance regulations and regulatory breaches during their tenure as reasons for the ban. The transition body emphasized that its mandate focuses on restoring accountability, protecting athletes, and reforming the sports administration.

 

Oshodi rejected the sanctions and questioned the legitimacy of the interim leadership. He publicly stated that he does not recognize the National Sports Commission's interim panel and confirmed he will not participate in the electoral process.

 

"I do not recognise the Caretaker Committee and I cannot even do anything under it," Oshodi declared. "I will not even be part of their election; so, they are just wasting their time. The insult, the embarrassment, the nonsense is getting too much."

 

The National Sports Commission appointed the six-member transitional committee earlier in October under Section 16 of the National Sports Commission Act 2023. The interim body maintains full backing to organize fresh elections, amend the federation's constitution, and restore operational stability.
