In view of the elections for the FIFA presidency scheduled for 26 February 2016, the Executive Committee also received a request from Mr. Musa Bility, president of the Liberian Football Association. The latter had the opportunity to explain the reasons that motivated his decision to run for the future election of the FIFA presidency.
After a fraternal exchange, full of sincerity and cordiality, the CAF Executive Committee decided unanimously not to offer the requested support of CAF to Mr. Musa Bility, whilst wishing him luck in the continuation of his endeavour.
To preserve the interests and unity of African football, it was agreed that Africa will give time to explore all options and decide.
