NFF to lose sponsors over leadership tussle between Pinnick, Giwa

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is at the verge of losing some
of its sponsors, following the latest twist in the leadership of the
Glass House.


On Monday, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, in a
statement asked Amaju Pinnick to obey a Supreme Court's ruling and
vacate the office for Chris Giwa.

Pinnick in response, insisted that his removal from office was "null and void."


In April this year, Giwa and his board had dragged the FIFA-recognised
Pinnick-led board to the Supreme Court, to set aside the verdict of
the Appeal Court after they had won at the High Court, claiming that
the mandate given to them by the congress of the NFF in August 2013
was sacrosanct.

In a tweet on Tuesday, former Media Officer of the Super Eagles, Colin
Udoh, said sponsors were monitoring the situation closely.

"NFF sponsors are monitoring situation at the Glass House. Prepared to
act on certain clauses in contracts and get out if crisis persists
#NFFChaos," Udoh tweeted.
