The chairman house committee on sports has asserted
that the lower house would ensure that the country does not suffer any
Fifa in the wake of the renewed NFF crisis
The Chairman House Committee on Sports, Hon. Godfrey Gaiya has said
that the House of Representatives will soon sit to deliberate on the
renewed resentment in the Nigeria Football Federation and that
everything possible will be done to avert another international football
ban.
On Thursday, Justice Ambrose Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Jos
had ruled against the NFF elections in Warri of September 30 which
ushered in Amaju Pinnick as President as well as the congress preceding
it because they were against the court order.
World football governing body Fifa have warned that should anything
hinder the newly elected NFF executive committee led by Pinnick from
operating, they will move for an automatic ban for the country till the
next Fifa congress in May.
In a chat with Goal, Gaiya revealed that he was yet
to be briefed on the latest court ruling but would ensure that his
committee in the lower house does the necessary things to ensure that
football is not shut by Fifa.
"I am just hearing it too just like you but I don’t want to hastily
make any comment now. House Committee will meet to discuss on it soonest
and the interest of the country’s football will soar high in our
deliberation and the need to work towards averting any backlash from
Fifa,” Gaiya told Goal.
"We thought everything about this had been sorted and that there
won’t be any crisis again but we are assuring Nigerians that we are
going to come to the root of the matter and the country’s football
interest will be adequately protected,” he concluded
