A Federal High Court sitting in Jos, Plateau state yesterday
Thursday October 23rd nullified the September 30th general election of the
Nigerian Football Federation which saw Amaju Pinnick elected as it’s President
.
Delivering his judgement in the case brought against the NFF
leadership by some disgruntled members of the association, Justice Ambrose
Allagoa said that his court ruling must be obeyed by the affected
parties.
His court ruling reads…
“I have set aside all the proceedings and decisions of the
Warri Extra Ordinary meeting of the 20th September and the Elective Congress of
30th September which were direct contravention of the orders of this court as
granted on the 19th September. Nobody should foist on the court a complete case
of hopelessness so that the principles of law and justice can be upheld. Its
not enough to say that the order of court was wrongly made, no matter how
unorthodox, its subsisting orders, unless set aside, remains law and must be
respected” .
The leadership of the NFF plan to appeal the ruling
