The Nigeria Football Federation Congress rose in Warri, Delta State on Saturday with a resolution to return to the oil city for its elective Congress of September 30.

The motion, for Warri as host of the elective Congress, which later received the blessing of the house was moved by a delegate from Ekiti State FA.

Presiding, the NFF President Aminu Maigari had reminded delegates about the resolution of the Congress held last year which stated that Warri would host the 2014 elective Congress. He reminded them that the resolution was documented, well publicised and a copy sent to FIFA.

There were initial misgivings about the chioce of Warri because it is the home town of one of the Presidential candidates, Amaju Pinnick . Delegates demanded for assurances from the host FA that there would be a level play ground for all contestants.

Delta State FA Chairman Amaju Pinnick, who was at the centre of the argument assured the full house that Delta State believes in fairplay. “We are a state that observes the best international practices. Warri is the safest place to be in Nigeria,” Amaju said, adding, “It is not a do or die affair. Our club, Warri Wolves lose home matches here in Warri and no hell is let loose.”

On hearing Amaju, the Congress unanimously agreed to return to Warri for the September 30 elective Congress.
