More Trouble In NFF As Chris Giwa Faction Resumes Amidst Stay of Execution Orders

 

The case will be heard by the court on Wednesday as Nigeria tries to avoid another Fifa ban which could mean failure to defend the African title next year. 

The Amaju Pinnick-led executive board has filed a Stay of Execution at the Federal High Court, Jos Judicial Division over the court’s ruling of Thursday, 23rd October setting aside the elections of 30th September, 2014, which brought the body to office.

In a statement by NFF media officer Ademola Olajire, the court has set Wednesday, 29th October for hearing of the Stay of Execution.


Meanwhile, the faction led by Chris Giwa resumed at the Glass House on Friday after Thursday's verdict by the Jos court which ruled to annul the election of Amaju Pinnick.

The group quickly moved to annul all actions carried out by the Pinnick-led board including the sack of coach Stephen Keshi. It also appointed several officials into different committees.

While the Pinnick-led board has filed for a stay of execution, the trouble in Nigerian football continues to fester ahead of next month's crunch Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Congo and South Africa.
While the rigmarole continues, Fifa is waiting in the shadows to slam another ban on Nigerian football. This time it would be for the longterm.
