Pinnick group fix date for nff election despite warning from dalung
#MTNshortz3sixtyworld
There are now very strong indications that the group led by Amaju
Pinnick plans to stage elections into the executive committee of the
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on September 22 in another desperate
bid to return wholesale to office.
This will be a clear one week before the previous date of September 29
that was endorsed by the NFF congress.
This change of date was due to the clash with the CAF Congress, which
will take place in Morocco on September 29.
Interestingly, this will be three days before the Federal High Court
in Jos resumes hearing of the NFF leadership tussle case that has been
running since 2014.
The Pinnick’s group gathered in Benin City this week in clear affront
of the laws of Nigeria and despite a stern warning by sports minister
Solomon Dalung.
They mandated the electoral committee to come up with a new and more
convenient date for the elective congress.
It is also yet to be known whether the polls will still take place in
Katsina as previously decided.
