A top NFF source who pleaded anonymity confirmed the news exclusively to NAIJ.com Sports
“I can confirm to you that a high court in Jos has sacked Amaju Pinnick. He and his board members are expected to vacate the office with immediate effect,”he said.
With the Super Eagles’ failure in their quest to reach the 2017 African Cup of Nations, there had been calls from different quarters for Pinnick to resign his position.
The embattled NFF president immediately reacted to the claims saying those calling for his resignation are very unfair to him.
He said: “I have heard calls by some persons asking me to resign but that is very unfair knowing the achievements this board has recorded during my tenure.
“We won the Africa Women’s Championship in Namibia, the FIFA U17 World Cup and we also qualified for almost all major competitions during this period.
“I was elected by the congress with four-year tenure and it will be very unfair for anyone to ask for my resignation.”
However, with the Federal High Court ruling today, April 8, Chris Giwa is expected to set-up a new board immediately.

ReplyDeleteWow
ReplyDeleteNigerian football heading for the rocks.
ReplyDeleteFifa's sledge hammer is hanging over us like the proverbial 'Sword of Darmocles'!
Chris Giwa timed his move perfectly to align with Pinnick's failure, thereby dividing opinions & sentiments alike.
Anyway, the Delta State born administrator has also filed a stay of motion on the judgement....whatever that means!
It seems we're in for a long ride!
*Ghanaman signing out*
It's called a Motion on Notice for stay of execution. The essence of filing the motion is to prevent the judgment of the High Court from taking effect pending the determination of Pinick's appeal at the Court of appeal.
DeleteGood for him
ReplyDeleteNext gist plssssssss
ReplyDeleteNaij.com can claim exclusive in Africa. Na wa. The word exclusive is now used anyhow in Nigeria blogs and websites. Saying exclusive when you weren't the one (s) who broke the gist first. Forming exclusive so that people go feel say you get hands or what? It's well. Mind you, I'm also an ardent Naij.com reader not a hater.
