President of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Ibrahim Gasau, has rubbished a report online, claiming he had a heated argument with Fouzi Lekjaa, President of the Moroccan Football Federation, FRMF.

A report which emerged online claimed that Gasau had a tense altercation with Lekjaa during a recent CAF Executive Committee meeting in Morocco.

But Gusau has now clarified that he has a positive rapport with Lekjaa, describing the report as false.

He said in a statement on the NFF’s website on Tuesday, “I don’t know where the report is coming from.

“Personally, I’ve always had a good relationship with Lekjaa.

“There was no shouting or any insults thrown. Whoever came up with that report engaged in mongering of total falsehood,” he said.
