In an exclusive interview with CMSports Gusau said:

"When we saw the turn around of event in Delta state FA, as leaders, we tried to call people that are concern to advise them to sit down and see how they can be together because nobody can come from anywhere and decide for the people of Delta. We only participated there to advise them on what to do on how to move the game of football forward.

"People were given the chance to participate (in the election), there was a fair process and at the end of the day we get new executives for the Delta state FA, led by Kenneth Nwaomucha as the Chairman.

The chairman of the chairmen, Gasau, debunk the rumour that he arm-twist Fuludu from contesting for the position of the chairman nor endorse the candidacy of anybody in the event leading to the election.

"Nobody disqualified him (Edema Fuludu) and he was not denied the right to contest for the chairmanship. It is for the Delta people to vote for their choice candidate and the people that voted on the election day were all Deltans.

Gusau advised Fuludu to accept reality and should stop fabricating stories.

"Right from the day we started this struggle have you heard any group of major football stakeholders in Delta state that come out vehemently to say No, what is done to Edema is not right? He served as the Acting chairman when the erstwhile Delta FA Chairman was not participating and was given the opportunity to serve.

"As far as we are concerned we are happy that at the end of the day the right thing was done, and we got a new executive Delta state Football Association that will move the game of football forward in the state and we are looking forward to support the new board."
