elections of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Warri, which
ushered in Pinnick Amaju as the new President of the NFF.
In a statement released yesterday, Giwa, who was purportedly elected
NFF President in what observers termed a 'kangaroo election' on August
26 in Abuja, said that he was the authentic head of Nigerian football.
Giwa said yesterday's election in Warri was illegal and vowed to seek
justice and fair play.
"It came to our notice that some people gathered in Warri to conduct
an illegal elections. We are also aware that a court of competent
jurisdiction outlawed the processes embarked upon in Warri.
"We shall pursue the cause of justice, fair play as guaranteed by the
1999 Constitution on us as Nigerians. FIFA as a law-abiding
institution stayed away from the illegal Warri Congress. They are
aware that there are court processes in place against the so-called
Congress".
Giwa said his board was going to meet on October 2 in Abuja to decide
on the next line of action.
"However in line with the orders of the Federal High Court, the board
shall meet on Thursday October 2, 2014 in Abuja, where decisions shall
be taken and Nigerians shall be properly briefed at the end of the
meeting", said Giwa in the signed statement.
