Chairman of  Giwa FC, Christopher Giwa has denounced the yesterday’s elections of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Warri, which ushered in Pinnick Amaju as the new President of the NFF.

In a statement released yesterday, Giwa, who was purportedly elected NFF President in what observers termed a ‘kangaroo election’ on August 26 in Abuja, said that he was the authentic head of Nigerian football.

Giwa said yesterday’s election in Warri was illegal and vowed to seek justice and fair play.

“It came to our notice that some people gathered in Warri to conduct an illegal elections. We are also aware that a court of competent jurisdiction outlawed the processes embarked upon in Warri.

“We shall pursue the cause of justice, fair play as guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution on us as Nigerians. FIFA as a law-abiding institution stayed away from the illegal Warri Congress. They are aware that there are court processes in place against the so-called Congress”.

Giwa said his board was going to meet on October 2 in Abuja to decide on the next line of action.

“However in line with the orders of the Federal High Court, the board shall meet on Thursday October 2, 2014 in Abuja, where decisions shall be taken and Nigerians shall be properly briefed at the end of the meeting”, said Giwa in the signed statement.
