| Embattled Pinnick |
The Amaju Pinnick-led executive
board has filed a Stay of Execution at the Federal High Court, Jos Judicial
Division over the court’s ruling of Thursday, 23rd October setting aside the
elections of 30th September, 2014, which brought the body to office.
In a statement by NFF media officer
Ademola Olajire, the court has set Wednesday, 29th October for hearing of the
Stay of Execution.
Meanwhile, the faction led by Chris
Giwa resumed at the Glass House on Friday after Thursday's verdict by the Jos
court which ruled to annul the election of Amaju Pinnick.
The group quickly moved to annul all
actions carried out by the Pinnick-led board including the sack of coach
Stephen Keshi. It also appointed several officials into different committees.
While the Pinnick-led board has
filed for a stay of execution, the trouble in Nigerian football continues to
fester ahead of next month's crunch Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against
Congo and South Africa.
While the rigmarole continues, Fifa
is waiting in the shadows to slam another ban on Nigerian football. This time
it would be for the long term.
