NFF congress to ban Giwa

An extraordinary congress of the Nigeria Football Federation is expected to take place on Wednesday in Abuja, where Chris Giwa and his group are expected to be slammed long-term bans, it was specially gathered.
A good number of FA chairmen and secretaries have already arrived in Abuja in time for the congress, which was called by the Amaju Pinnick-led NFF Board.
However, feelers from the Giwa camp said any such assembly will be viewed by the court as contempt as the Federal High Court sitting in Jos, Plateau State has equally disbanded the congress.
One of the top officials told AfricanFootball.com that Giwa is equally aware that part of the agenda of the congress is to slam a ban on him.
Last week, the Giwa group got the court to re-list their case against the NFF leadership, which they had suspended two years ago.
They argued they returned to the court after last year’s AGM in Abuja barred other stakeholders besides past and present congress delegates from vying for elective offices.
