Unless elders of the country wade into the renewed crisis over the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the nation may not realize its ambition of hoisting its flag at the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup.
FIFA at the weekend banned Sudan and Guinea from all its activities following alleged government interference in the administration of their football. And the same fate may befall Nigeria if the renewed court battle over NFF leadership is allowed to affect the administration of the game.
Last Monday, the Supreme Court gave the NFF, led by Amaju Pinnick, and followers of a claimant to the federation’s presidency, Chris Giwa, notice to await further directives on when it would deliver judgment on the suit between the parties.
