African champions Nigeria could be
thrown out of international football
by the governing body of the sport,
Fifa, this week.

The football federation of the West
African nation, the NFF, has been
given a deadline of Monday, October
27, 2014 to resolve its governance
issue or face automatic suspension
from Fifa.

Caf president was quoted in a
statement from the NFF saying to
the Nigeria sports minister, Dr
Tammy Danagogo: “I had to plead
passionately with Fifa President, Mr
Sepp Blatter not to take action on Nigeria on Friday, because Nigeria
was in the final of the African
Women Championship and a ban on
your country would have been bad
for the competition and our sponsors.

We all heard the news of the court ruling on Thursday, and the football world is angry with Nigeria.

That is the truth. “The Fifa letter that came to your federation before the elections of September 30 was very clear about an automatic suspension should there be any interference with the political process, and after the elections went ahead, we all thought you had settled your issues.”

A Federal High Court sitting in Jos
and presided over by Justice Ambrose Allagoa had last Thursday week declared the elections of September 30, 2014 that brought the Amaju Pinnick executive committee into office as null and void.

The court also warned the troubled
NFF executive committee to quit
parading itself as the country's
football authority which has led to
the Chris Giwa group that filed the
suit to stake claim as being the authentic executive committee of
troubled Nigeria's FA.

The governance crisis was further
heated on Friday when it emerged
that Pinnick was stopped at the
Murtala Mohammed International
Airport in Lagos from travelling to
Namibia for the African Women Championship (AWC) final between
Nigeria and Cameroon following the
court ruling.

The Pinnick-led NFF has already
claimed that it has filed a stay of
execution on the ruling by the court
in Jos, which will be heard this
Wednesday.

Fifa and Caf say they recognise the
elections of Pinnick and his executive
committee and even congratulated
him on emerging the NFF president.

But Nigeria, who hold the men's and
women's titles in the Africa Cup of
Nations and AWC respectively, now
risk missing out in a handful of 2015
international tournaments as Fifa
will not revisit any sanction meted out on the country's FA until May
2015 when the Fifa congress holds in
Zurich, Switzerland.
