A new chapter has been opened in the latest Nigeria football
crisis as members of the Chris Giwa-led Nigeria Football
Federation, NFF, board were at its secretariat on Friday in Abuja
to clear the ground for resumption of duties on Monday.
The Giwa-led executives secured a court order on Thursday
sacking the other faction led by Amaju Pinnick.
Amongst other things, the Giwa-led board stated that all
committees and earlier decisions made by the Amaju-led board
has been overturned including the decision not to allow Stephen
Keshi to continue as the national team coach.
“The NFF board reviewed and feels so strongly to sustain the
out-of-contract assignment given to the technical crew of the
Super Eagles led by Stephen Keshi at a very critical moment
like this. Nigerians want the national team to play well, win and
a pride to them” a part of the communiqué reached at the
executive committee read.
Keshi’s contract as Nigeria national team boss ended after the
World Cup in Brazil and attempts to get a new contract fell
through. He was shown the exit door on October 16 despite
leading the Eagles to a 3-1 win over Sudan in the Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier played in Abuja.
Yahaya Adama, a member of the Giwa-led board stated on
Friday at the NFF’s secretariat, that they remained the only
legally elected executives and any other board parading itself in
that light was merely wasting its time.
“The board wishes to thank Nigerians who have since the court
ruling been calling and identifying with us,” he said. “Like we
had stated earlier, our decision not to have gone ahead to
occupy the Glass House (the secretariat) since the September 19
ruling that empowered us was to allow peace. The latest
decision of the court herewith has returned us to office fully
from where we draw our greater resolve to save the game.”

Instead of saying they want to save their pockets, they say they want to "save the game". Which game are they saving? Do these people think we are fools? As for the judge who made this ruling, I think he must be a clown. Anyway, his ruling is an exercise in futility, a meaningless frolic. Giwa and his gang of jobbers should know that FIFA will never recognise their so-called board. Football's world governing body has already given the Pinnick-led board its full backing and has recognised the elections that produced it. As everyone knows, FIFA's statutes forbid all forms of civil litigation in football matters. The most likely outcome of this crisis is that FIFA will ban Nigeria from all international football engagements, meaning that even if we qualify we will not play in the next AFCON tournament or indeed any other competition organised by CAF or FIFA. That's the benefit of having shameless greedy men like Giwa and co.

our football get k leg! dis ppl wanna destroyed it the more em.

Wot is really happening 2dis country mine called nigeria?

Lobatan

Does this means that martins, obasi, iheanacho and uche wont be invited again? this country shall

It is crystal clear that this mofos are only fighting for their own purse and not for the good of NFF.

AssHoles

#spreads mat to watch how d drama unfolds

am tired of all dis nonsense...... Matured men who does nt respect their age and decide to behave lik bunch of idiots..... FIFA pls ban Nigeria so we all can ve peace and concentrate on club football

The post above me make sense die. 7654likes for you jare

THIS GIWA OF A PERSON WILL RUIN NIGERIAN FOOTBALL. I SEE NO GOOD COMING OUT OF THIS GIWA LEAD NFF. JUST LOOK AT WHAT PINNICK HAS DONE IN THIS SHORT SPACE OF TIME IT SHOW YOU SOMEONE WHO IS READY TO MOVE OUR FOOTBALL TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

This what we get when some old men refuses to respect themselves and above all they attach greed to it, that is the dangerous combination that has continued to slow down not jst football even other sectors in naija, God help us

Is there no one who can call these clowns to order? Must our football be destroyed by Giwa and his group before something is done? Whose interest are they pursuing? I thought that majority of football lovers want Stephen Keshi to go if we are to move forward in our football. Why are they reversing this decision supported by Nigerians. Where are the Football Supporters club when our football is being raped and ravished by greedy, selfish, unpatriotic individuals. Enough is enough and those who should do something ought to do so now before the final Fifa ban. A word is enough for the wise.

drama indeed shame
