Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday met behind closed doors with the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Solomon Dalung, and the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
This is coming hours after FIFA gave the Nigerian football body ultimatum to resolve its crisis or risk sanctions.
Pinnick and few others suspected to be members of his NFF executive were seen at the Council Chamber before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Osinbajo.
After the Council, the Acting President and the Sports Minister met behind closed doors.
Dalung left the Acting President’s office at 5:30pm.
He declined to take questions from State House Correspondents.
No official reason was given for the meeting, but it was learnt it might not be unconnected with the threat by FIFA to sanction Nigeria over the leadership crisis rocking the NFF and alleged government interference.
