Pinnick warns statute breakers of stiff punishment

Published on: 21 August 2022

Outgoing president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick has warned those who are bent on going against the laws of the Federation.

In a series of quotes revealed to the media by Nigeria football journalist, Tobi Adepoju, the NFF Boss said that enough was enough and it was time to stop those defaming the federation.

"I want to say that enough is enough. We have tolerated these individuals for much longer. I am leaving the position of NFF Presidency in a few weeks but I am still a Member of the FIFA Council.

"I can talk about Nigeria Football anywhere. It is time to call the bluff of these persons. Their actions not only malign and defame the NFF; these also de-market the NFF to a certain degree. He said.

Pinnick further chided the people who drags the name of the federation through the mire all in the name of suits.

"If the NFF holds a General Assembly, they go to court." If the NFF does not hold, they go to court. Every single day, they want to go to court. It is their right, but it is also the right of the NFF to curtail such excesses. FIFA clearly stipulates that football matters are not meant for civil courts." He said.
