As the wrangle over the NFF seat continues,
one of the factions has appointed a deceased
arbiter for Sunday’s NPFL clash between the
Seasiders and Jos Elephant Chris Giwa’s group of the Nigeria Football
Federation has listed a late referee Wale
Akinsanya for this weekend’s Week 13 Nigeria
Professional Football League fixture between
Warri Wolves and Giwa FC.
Akinsanya passed away during a Nigeria
Referees Association fitness test on January
22, 2016 and has since been committed to
mother earth.
In a statement sent to the League
Management Company and signed by Yahaya
Adama, the deceased arbiter was appointed to
handle the clash billed for the Warri City
Stadium, and to be assisted by Tope Orowole
and Adeleke M.
On Wednesday, Giwa’s group had rejected the
peace move by sports minister, Solomon
Dalung to end the crisis rocking the football
federation.
In a statement signed by the group’s
chairman of chairmen, Effiong Johnson, it
urged Nigerians to disregard the action of the
minister, as it was to deceive football
followers.
“In the first place, the minister is a party to
the case in court as the fourth defendant and
when the court by an Order made on April 8
2016 restored all its previous orders, including
the order which nullified and set aside the
election which purportedly produced Amaju
Pinnick et al,” Johnson wrote in a statement.
“The minister betrayed his partisanship in the
dispute by wasting no time to hold brief for
the Amaju Pinnick group in his erroneous and
flawed public statement that the group was
entitled to 30 days to appeal against the
ruling of the court.
“The minister has thus lost the moral podium
to midwife any settlement of the dispute.
Secondly, the composition of the membership
of the so-called reconciliation committee
leaves no one in doubt that it was constituted
only for a hatchet job for the Amaju Pinnick
group.
“Virtually all members of the committee are
associates of the Amaju Pinnick group. For
instance, Musa Amadu is not only a co-
defendant with the minister in the case but is
also the chairman of the Organising &
Disciplinary Committee of the Amaju Pinnick
group. Barrister Okey Obi has made
statements in many fora on behalf of the
Amaju Pinnick group and has also appeared in
court as counsel to the defendants, while Paul
Bassey is known to be an avowed supporter of
the Amaju Pinnick group.”
Former NFF boss Ibrahim Galadima is the
head of the seven-man reconciliation
committee, which has one week to submit its
report. http://m.goal.com/s/en-ng/news/4111/npfl/2016/04/22/22683182/bizarre-nff-appoints-dead-referee-for-league-game
