Fifa Gives Nigeria Till Friday To Resolve Internal Crisis by oliy24(m): 12:41pm On Oct 29, 2014
According to a letter from Fifa, the civil suit must be withdrawn otherwise
Nigeria’s case will be referred to the Fifa Emergency Committee for immediate
suspension
Fifa has again directed Nigeria to reinstate the Amaju Pinnick-led Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation by midday on Friday or risk a lengthy suspension. According to a letter from Fifa Secretary General Jerome Valcke, the civil suit must be withdrawn by Friday otherwise Nigeria’s case will be referred to the Fifa Emergency Committee for the immediate suspension of the NFF from its activities.
Valcke said that Fifa has demanded that the court order which nullified the
September 30 election into the NFF board and directed that the case be withdrawn
forthwith.
Justice Ambrose Allagoa of a Federal High Court in Jos, last week Wednesday
nullified the election that ushered in the Amaju Pinnick-led board and ordered Chris
Giwa back to office.
But, Fifa is insisting that it will not recognize Chris Giwa as NFF president.
Should NFF be suspended, the case will not be revisited until May 2015 during the
FIFA congress.
This means that Nigeria will be unable to participate at the Africa Cup of Nations
and other youth football events.
