On Thursday, there was serious apprehension across the nation that the country could be in for severe sanctions from world football –governing body, FIFA which had issued a stern warning earlier that they would not take kindly to any interference with the NFF’s electoral process.
A hitch –free election eventually took place in Warri on 30th September, 2014, following three months of debilitating crises, and FIFA, CAF, NFF sponsors, the National Assembly and other highly –placed institutions and individuals have recognized the Pinnick –led Board and extended their congratulations.
FIFA has also made it clear that any interference from any third parties in the NFF’s administrative process will lead to an automatic ban that would not be revisited until its 65th Congress scheduled for Zurich, Switzerland on 29th May, 2015.
