Musa Bility has revealed that he will not contest for the presidency of the Liberia Football Association after his current tenure comes to an end in April.

The 50-year-old became president of the body in December 2010 and is no more interested in seeking another term in office.

Bility who also serves as an executive committee member of Confederation of African Football revealed that to BBC on Saturday in what is seen as part of his plans to entrench himself into the West African country politics.

“I’m glad that my effort (has) helped to change football in Africa and in Fifa,”said Bility as quoted by BBC.

Bility will still serve on the CAF ExCo as the position is for a four-year term which will expire in 2021.

The Liberian made history in 2015 to become the first African candidate for FIFA’s top job since Confederation of African Football President Issa Hayatou lost to Blatter in 2002 in a display of his usual ease with standing up for what he believes in.

His reasons for running for the top job were largely driven by his desire that Africa should take its place in the global football conversation.

However, Bility did not pass the check and was declared not eligible to stand, but  Fifa failed to make the reasons for his exclusion public.

Bility was a key figure in last year’s Africa football governing body elections campaigns and was among Ahmad’s devotees who brought shock and embarrassing end to Issa Hayatou’s close to three decades stronghold on African football.

When he took the reins of the Liberian Federation the Lone Stars were ranked 160th in the world but the team broke into the top 100 three years later – for the first time since George Weah, the legendary player who is now the country’s president, retired in the early nighties.
