I believe a court ruled their ban as unconstitutional..

Bros,

I am shocked by your statement here. It does not matter whether you like Pinnick or not but this move ought to be condemned by any one who wants Nigeria's football to do well. If Pinnick is a failure then he should be removed via the proper channel which is the upcoming election. This move is simply ridiculous and will shut down Nigeria's football and for good reason.

Why are you shocked by bully12's statement.
If ever there is an agent on CE pretending to be a fan, none is more glaring.
He will not stop at anything to get his warped ideas rolling, even when it's
injurious to the cause he pretends to support.
Time will surely expose his evil intensions.

Naija matter nor dey gree person talk again.

These goons couldn't care less if Nigerian football suffered irreversibly because of their thoughtless self interest.

Serves Pinick right for hiring a 'football-coward' that nearly gave this JUDGE a heart-attack during this WC.
The Judge just decided that it's payback time.

Same ish that happened 4 years ago. SMH

No Pinnick, no Roach (rohr)

Chief Zee, this case is not cut and dry like many think. Chris Green has a very legitimate case. It hasn't helped that Pinnick kept boasting how he outmaneuvered Green. Green had been going around presenting his case to anyone who might help him get justice including the Senate Committee chair on Sports. Pinnick will hope his friends in the media come to his aid.

He put his stock on Rohr and he failed him. Plus I won't be surprised if they set EFCC on him. Making it a criminal case as opposed to an electoral/administrative case.

I'm shocked at ur lack of appreciation of the correct statutes involved here. Being able to run around semi-illiterate assemblymen should neither be rewarded or commended...

If Chris Green believes he has a case, he knows the proper legal channel to follow.

Instead he's preying on the ignorance of a few.

If Pinnick put his stall on Rohr and it failed him, then he should be prosecuted accordingly thru the elections...

PaJ, while I like Pinnick and I think he should stay, Giwa is seeking justice. It is alleged that Pinnick used the instrument of state to get his rivals arrested barring them from the election.

Yes, he is doing relatively well but if it were you that were on the receiving end of alleged injustice would you just let it go? Remember there were attempts to reconcile the two parties and Pinnick wasn't having it.

These guys are gangsters. Don't pick sides. Let the law decide.

Cell,

Are we talking about Chris Green or Chris Giwa? These are two different people. I believe you may be referring to Chris Giwa (correct me if I am wrong on this) and he has presented his case through the legitimate channels which were both FIFA and CAS and in both places he lost the case. Moreover, his insistence in going outside the FIFA-directed conflict-resolution processes (i.e. the courts) earned him an unprecedented ban that was affirmed at both CAF and FIFA levels. It is hard to see how he will be allowed to preside over Nigerian football. If the government insists on Giwa, then surely FIFA will ban Nigeria and legitimately so. One cannot force his way after he had been rejected at each appropriate spaces where football conflict is to be resolved. When the FIFA ban takes place (a certainty), I anticipate unprecedented pressure on the government for which Dalung's job may face scrutiny to be sure.

The larger question is why the AG should provide uninformed advise to the government. Nigeria is a FIFA member and had agreed to abide by FIFA statutes which include agreement to follow outlined conflict resolution processes. The AG should have informed the courts (If summoned) that the case should not have been heard in the courts since the parties have agreed (as members affiliated to FIFA) that disputes cannot be settled in courts but through FIFA's arbitration processes. So no matter Giwa's grievances (To be sure he has grievances), the correct processes should be followed.

I have made sure below to avoid using Nigerian journalists as sources of reports concerning this matter. Here are relevant links:

This is a BBC report on FIFA's decision on Giwa's election
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/28995537

Here is the FULL REPORT on CAS Ruling on whether FIFA was within its rights to act on Giwa's election

Dalung is only enforcing court orders or will be arrested for contempt of court. According to Dalung the directive came from the Minister of Justice.

Thank you. I was scratching my head wondering if it's not the same case that was roundly rejected by CAS...

Dalung tried to resolve it, he was accused of supporting his someone from his state. The man simply left the men alone. We all know how Giwa FC was killed. Like you said they are gangsters!!

Sorry Giwa. Typing with my phone.

I agree with your take. I even heard that there were correspondence allegedly from FIFA that wasn't really from FIFA.

Dude it is not about right or wrong statutes. Giwa is going to use every and any leverage he has to seek redress.

That's precisely the issue EII wrote against, which you agreed to above!

Its not his ability to use any leverage that's the issue, but his lack of respect for the rules, which you happen to be tacitly endorsing...

You think GIWA will be better?

He can not be worse.

stop trying to destabilize your country.

The rule of law should be respected. The supreme court and Chris Giwa do not have the best interest of Nigeria at heart, going against the proper FIFA processes.

Giwa is a typical Nigerian, who puts his own individual endeavours above that of his country. Dude should be exiled.

... exiled? Find something (fraud of any type) on him, arrest and try him and, put him in jail if he still wants to be a problem. That is how it is done in America, Russia and in several other places - unfortunately

Breaking is a press release from Keyamo stating amazingly and with an official letter from the AG stating that the FGN cannot interfere because that would be sub judice. Thus, it appears Dalung is on his own on this. This is really a shame and I would hope that Dalung himself should face action on this matter that brings the government to disrepute.

For me Dalung should be made to withdraw his letter and apologize. There was absolutely no reason for him to write such a letter.

I don't understand why Dalung is still the Minister of youth and sports.

Darling and his friends should be in jail for trying to destroy our soccer.
