World football governing body, FIFA, has affirmed the September 30 Nigeria Football Federation Elective Congress, which brought the Amaju Pinnick-led board to power.
In a letter dated December 9, FIFA declared support for the majority report of the NFF electoral appeals committee, which upheld the elections in Warri, Delta State.
“We note the majority decision of the electoral appeals committee to uphold in their entirety the results of the elective congress held in Warri on 30 September 2014,” read the letter in part.
“We are therefore pleased to be able to start working with the new office bearers headed by NFF president, Amaju Pinnick.
“We will contact you in the coming days to organise an introductory meeting between Mr Pinnick and FIFA president in Zurich.”
The chairman of the appeals committee had in his own report nullified the elections of President Pinnick, Vice President Seyi Akinwunmi and members Felix Anyansi Agwu and Sherif Inua.
FIFA further said it will arrange an introductory meeting between FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, and Pinnick.
