Barely 24 hours after the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF,
Electoral Appeals Committee upheld the 30 September polls that produced the
Amaju Pinnick-led executive, the Chairman of the Committee, Okey Ajunwa, has
nullified the same elections.
Ajunwa’s ruling which annulled the election of Amaju Pinnick
and Seyi Akinwunmi as Chairman and Vice of the NFA board contradicts the ruling
of three other members of the committee who upheld the polls on Wednesday.
Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Mr. Ajunwa
said other committee members who “hastily” upheld the September polls are not
legal practitioners and were ignorant of the law.
“None of them is a lawyer, I am the lawyer and I know the
law, I have gathered the results of the committee and I will read them out in
accordance with FIFA and CAF rules,” Mr. Ajunwa told journalist Thursday in
Abuja.
