Chris Giwa Vows To Resume At NFF Secretariat Today

 

Chris Giwa addressed his first press briefing at the Numero Uno Hotel, Gwarinpa, Abuja on Tuesday declaring that he will take over as the legal president of the Nigeria Football Federation on Wednesday.

He has concluded plans to hit the NFF secretariat to resume work after being declared the rightful head of the organization by the Federal High Court, Jos last Friday. He said “I got into Abuja this afternoon and I can tell you that time is not on our side. The NFF secretariat is there. That is our secretariat. I am not based in Abuja. I just came into Abuja this afternoon. We will be in the secretariat tomorrow. That is our secretariat. You saw our board members there on Friday. My board members waited for me yesterday. The major reason why we have not come to the secretariat is that we are law abiding people and we wanted the court order to be duly served to the relevant authorities. This is our right and we will be there tomorrow (Wednesday) by the grace of God”.

On Monday, FIFA issued a statement that it was observing the situation in Nigerian football and it would not hesitate to ban the NFF from participating in football internationally.
