LATEST UPDATE:
NFF polls: Confusion trails appeals committee verdictAmaju’s election stands –Members
Committee chairman disagrees
BY GEORGE ALUO
Nigerian football is set to be thrown into another round of crisis following the failure of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) electoral appeals committee to come out with one voice in its verdict.
The committee which met yesterday in Abuja came up with decisions that were surprisingly not endorsed by the chairman Barrister Okey Ajunwa.
While the committee members upheld the election of Pinnick Amaju and the other board members, Okey Ajunwa, who is the chairman of the body sang a different tone as he failed to sign the decisions made available to the media by the NFF.
In fact the NFF in a release made available to the media yesterday stated that the appeals committee boss may come up with a dissenting minority report, which it insisted would be a nullity.
The NFF statement stated in part: “All the members except the chairman upheld the elections…and also maintained that the appellant (Barrister Iyke Igbokwe) has no locus standi to challenge the entire election. In conclusion, the NFF 2014 elective congress held in Warri on Tuesday 30th September 2014 is hereby upheld in its entirety. The undersigned members of the NFF 2014 electoral appeals committee have therefore conveyed their findings and decisions to the NFF secretariat for onward transmission to the relevant authorities. This statement is submitted having in mind that the chairman (Okey Ajunwa) may come up with a dissenting minority opinion.”
