The controversies that have bedeviled the Nigerian
Football Federation for months now show no sign of
abating, even after yesterday’s elections that were
supposed to chart a new era for the troubled Glass
House.
Deposed President Chris Giwa
Adding to the drama today, embattled Chris Giwa vowed to
resume work after the independence day break tomorrow.
Speaking to reporters, the Giwa FC owner said he sees no
reason why he shouldn’t return to work considering he is
still number one as far as Nigeria’s football is concerned.
Giwa will be coming back despite a court order which had
directed that the process leading to yesterday’s elections in
Warri be suspended.
“We shall resume on Thursday. I issued a statement to that
effect. We have been working so we would be going back to
office on Thursday,” Giwa said.
Delta State Football Association chairman, Amaju Pinnick,
who was yesterday in Warri elected the new president of the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after front runner Shehu
Dikko controversially withdrew from the race is also
expected to fully take over the affairs the game tomorrow.
This development means two presidents will show up at the
Glass House tomorrow, each claiming the right to govern
the country’s football with FIFA waiting on the wings, the
effects of tomorrow’s actions might turn out to be
devastating for Nigeria.
