Amaju Pinnick Admits Giwa Won Election

Amaju Pinnick Admits Giwa Won Elections CAF First Vice President, Amaju Pinnick has admitted Ambassador Chris Giwa won a duly conducted election in Chida Hotels on August 26th, 2014. The confirmation was contained in the last paragraph of a press release by Amaju Pinnick's lawyer, Festus Keyamo (SAN) on Sunday 26th August, 2018. In his opinion, he claimed that Giwa's tenure in office elapsed on 26th August, 2018. Before Sunday, what Pinnick and his group have been claiming was that there was no election in Chida hotels in August 2014. According to them, they claimed the major reason why Chida election was not Appealed by the delegates was that there was no election in Chida, therefore, they cannot Appeal what did not happen. So, what has changed? By now, the general public should know that these people speak from both sides of their mouth. Now that Amaju Pinnick through his lawyer has admitted that Giwa tenure ended yesterday (Sunday). It then means that was an election won by Ambassador Chris Giwa. For avoidance of doubt, the Congress that elected Ambassador Chris Giwa is not the same congress that elected Amaju Pinnick on his puprpoted illegal elections that was not known to the laws of the land. In this light, they lack the power and right to end the tenure they are not part of. The Congress had on Friday 25th August 2018 passed a vote of confidence on Amb Chris Giwa and approved the commencement of his tenure to be July 2nd, 2018 to end July 2nd, 2022. The Press release reads: "And lastly, for the information of the public, the tenure of office which is the subject of dispute of the case filed by Giwa’s group since 2014, lapses on the 26th of August, 2018 – being TODAY." So, we are right to say there was an election in Chida and Giwa won that election. In the same press release, he said that the Ex - parte Order automatically cannot last more than 14 days. If it is so, why are they in court to set it aside? How would they go to court more than thrice to set aside an Order that ordinarily elapsed after 14 days? For clarification sake, it is abuse of court to approach the court to set aside an Order that automatically has elapsed. Do they want to bring it back to life? As SAN, he should stop deceiving his client and the general public because he should know better than he is making the public to believe. The NFF President, AMB. Chris Giwa has an Ex- Parte Order enforcing an Order or a judgement of the Court. Until the substantive suit is heard, the orders of the court stands. The press release reads in part: "The Rule of Law says an interim order against such a person cannot last more than 14 days." By Niyi Busari
