In an outright disregard to the world soccer rul­ing body’s directive that the elective con­gress of the Nigeria Foot­ball Federation, (NFF) hold today, the leadership of the Nigeria football house has declared that nothing of such is on its calendar of activities.
Ademola Olajire, As­sistant Director, (Com­munications) in a release he signed on behalf of the NFF said nothing of such is on the agenda of the NFF.
According to the release, made available to Daily Sunsports, the federation stated that: “It has come to the notice of the Nigeria Football Federation that some persons are spread­ing information to the ef­fect that there is a congress of the NFF taking place on Thursday, 4th September, 2014. This is absolutely untrue.
“If there would be any NFF Congress of any na­ture, the notice for such would come from the NFF Secretariat. I am aware the NFF secretariat has not is­sued such notice.”
“This is to advise all the chairmen and secretaries of the state football asso­ciations and those of the NFF’s affiliate bodies to disregard the notice. We also urge the general public not to go anywhere near the venue of the gathering.”
Beyond the release by Olajire, the NFF factional leader Chris Giwa told the House Committee that he is looking into the NFF crisis that he won’t vacate office unless an Appeal Commit­tee quashes his August 26 mandate.
In Giwa’s word: “I have made it clear that there won’t be any fresh elec­tion because there is no Appeal Committee that has annuled my victory and order for a fresh election. The Appeal Committee is the only body that can up­turned the already conduct­ed eletion. If the Appeal Committee sits today and quash my election, I will humbly vacate office.”
The House Committee on Sports led by Hon. God­frey Gaiya has promised to make its position on the crisis known to the public today.
