Amaju Pinnick, the president of Nigeria football federation
(NFF) is said to have solicited for more time for the resolution of the crisis
facing the leadership of the federation.
According to a source, World Soccer governing body FIFA
would have hammered Nigeria before now but for the intervention of Pinnick. The
NFF was thrown into crisis last week when the minister of youth and sports,
Barrister Solomon Dalung directed Amb. Chris Giwa to take over as the president
of the Federation.
Consequently, FIFA, which frowns at football matters being
taken to the civil court, had resolved to place a lengthy ban on the country
but had to delay in taking such decision due to the influence and cordial
relationship between the body and Pinnick.
However, a source informed African Drum today that FIFA is currently about to take a decision
on the crisis rocking the NFF with the possibility of making an announcement on
the matter immediately.
