“With much respect to all members, an indepedent auditor, the legal adviser will be present and all members who were not present on ex-meeting that board of directors held on 29th November 2016,” part of the letter reads.

The issues are expected to be discussed in the Issa Hayotou Meeting Hall at the federations headquarters in what is seen as a chance to retain the president who was outsted by a section of board members.
