Court stops sports minister pinnick from conducting nff executive election
It appears that there is a development in the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) executive election. According to reports, a court has issued an injunction stopping the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, from conducting the executive election.
Here's a brief summary of the situation:
- The NFF had scheduled an executive election for March 2023, with Pinnick seeking re-election as President.
- However, a faction of the NFF, led by former President, Chris Giwa, had filed a lawsuit challenging Pinnick's eligibility to contest the election.
- The court has now granted an injunction stopping Pinnick from conducting the election, pending the determination of the lawsuit.
This development is likely to cause a delay in the election process, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold. The NFF has been plagued by internal conflicts and controversies in recent years, and this latest development is likely to add to the uncertainty surrounding the organization.
It's worth noting that the NFF has been under the leadership of Pinnick since 2014, and his re-election bid has been met with opposition from some quarters. The court's injunction is likely to be a significant setback for Pinnick's re-election plans, and it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved.
I'll be happy to provide more updates as more information becomes available.
