Giwa Calls Unity Among Nigerian Football Stake holders

By Admin Following a directive from Solomon Dalung, minister of sports, that Amaju Pinnick, who is currently in Russia for the World Cup should hand over to Christopher Giwa. Addressing journalists at the glass house in Abuja, Giwa said his assumption of office was in line with the ruling of the court on June 5, 2018. He said the court had nullified the parallel election held in Warri by the former chairman, Amaju Pinnick and upheld him as the chairman. “I am here to claim my mandate as the substantive chairman elected on August 26, 2014,” he said. “We waited for the other board to finish the preparations for world cup so that we can assume office.” Giwa promised to embark on reconciliation of all aggrieved members for the success of the federation. He explained that Nigeria’s sovereignty could not be threatened by any foreign interest, saying NFF operated in tandem with the country’s constitution. “We are grateful to God for making it possible for us to reclaim our mandate and we shall give Nigerians good results,” he said. "My number one vision is is reconciliation, there been division in the family and i want all of us to come together. I want us to come together because the game is for all of us. It is interest in football that brought all of us together."
