Re: DSS FORCES GIWA OUT OF NFF
Ok, I have no issues with your opinion. In fact, if you are unhappy with the way the NFF is run, then there is a process to elect new leadership with a different direction. That process was derailed by politicians using "the law" as their tool to serve their personal needs.Cellular wrote:Who are the Pinnick haters?charlie wrote:What I find interesting is how so many of the Pinnick haters and "Rohr must go" crowd are all of a sudden law abiding citizens, more interested in defending the law when it suits their needs, but looking the other way when it was illegally used to pursue an agenda aligned with their interests.
I suppose in the jungle that is Nigerian politics, there is no right or wrong,...just self interests.
Or the "Rohr Must Go" crowd?
The fact is that Rohr failed. If Pinnick and the NFF want to retain him, it is their prerogative. But let's not claim that he has succeeded. Next is AFCON qualifiers, hope he gets the ticket. You might ready up an excuse...
Where was your outrage then? Or did the law not matter to you when it was misused?

Dalung dares Buhari, says Giwa remains NFF president
ON JULY 23, 20189:40 PMIN NEWS, SPORTS31 COMMENTS
Sports Minister Solomon Dalung has stated that nothing has changed following the Supreme Court ruling and Orders of the Federal High Court in Jos on the Nigeria Football Federation on April 27, 2018. This followed the invasion of the Glass House by security operatives this morning. Barrister Dalung said in a statement that the status quo remains. Dalung and Buhari “As far as I am concerned, nothing has changed. There is no development after the Supreme Court ruling of April 27, 2018 and the Federal High Court Order of 5th June 2018 because the court has not vacated the order.
“Those who are presently trying to instigate confusion, using the name of the President must be aware that the President cannot go against the rule of law. The Order issued by the court has not been vacated and the President cannot vacate a court order because there are clear cut processes of doing that.
“What happened in the NFF today is security excesses but it will be sorted out. The Federal government is urging members of the public to remain calm as it is doing its best to resolve the crises in the Nigeria Football Federation.
“The Ministry of Youth and Sports Development has already initiated a process of trying to bring the stakeholders together, to work out a road map out of this quagmire. The Stakeholders’ meeting billed for Tuesday July 24, 2018 will still go ahead as planned.
“We want to assure Nigerians that Government is sorting out the grey areas but nobody should drag the name of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria into this. The President is an advocate of the Rule of Law and he cannot be associated with the security excesses of a breach of the Rule of Law.
We urge the civil servants in the federation to remain calm and go about their normal duties.”

Why DSS chased out Chris Giwa from NFF
Indications have emerged on why the Department of State Security Security (DSS) chased out embattled Chris Giwa from the Secretariat of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja.
A letter signed by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, a copy of which was obtained by Daily Trust on Monday, had directed the parties involved to maintain the statusquo until the final determination of the suit.
The letter also directed the Sports minister, Solomon Dalung, to abstain from making any public comment on the NFF crisis forthwith.
The letter titled “RE: A plea for caution in implementing one-sided court orders concerning the Nigeria Footbal Federtion (NFF) and the need to respect FIFA's position on the orders” reads in part:
“I write to convey the directive of His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari that the Honourable Minister of Youth and Sports should refrain from making any further public statement in relation to this matter and let the legal process take its course.
“The parties are to be advised to await the final determination of the suit without disturbing the status quo ante.”
Daily Trust noted that the letter (LE: 29/S.1/II/65) dated July 20, 2018, which was addressed directly to the sports minister, was also copied to the Inspector General of Police, the NFF General Secretary and the Director General of the DSS.

Of the two parties involved, I know Pinnick, I don't know Giwa.
I want the issue resolved amicably if it is possible while following the rule of law.
This case is similar to the Ekiti elections. When Fayose had the power of the FGN he used it against Fayemi. Same with Pinnick.
For us to proceed, both gentlemen should try and settle this case out of court. But Pinnick should be willing to entertain arbitration that was initially proferred by the Sports Minister.

Ebun mi, that ship sailed when Giwa and that crooked sports minister decided to use military force to occupy the grass house.
This entire adventure by Giwa and that mumu Dalung was always about power and never about what was best about Nigerian football. In fact, Dalung has likely ensured that Pinnick is guaranteed to win the next NFF elections by default. Instead of debating who to run against him, he has united Nigerians tired of these politicking power struggles behind Pinnick.
If I were Dalung, I will worry more about keeping his job rather than arbitrating with the dead horse that Giwa is. The only conversation that needs to take place is between Dalung and Pinnick, and you and I know the conversation will be all about Naira notes.

Re: DSS FORCES GIWA OUT OF NFF
TBH, while I support Pinnick's right as per ruling of FIFA and CAS upholding of that ruling, I do not believe that DSS' use of strong-arm on this matter is the way to go. This, IMHO, opens the door for future acts that may be detrimental to all of us. If Giwa acted illegally to occupy property, I am pretty sure that such act has a statute that is actionable through the courts. Bear in mind that such occupation has nothing to do with matters of football.

Buhari personally intervenes in Nigerian football "hot mess"
Africans are so predictable. We had the same mess in Kenya a few years ago. The officials were fighting for the FIFA manna from heaven. Let's hope Nigeria can learn from Kenya and restore their football to respectable levels ..and stop sending relatives to World Cup matches with one way tickets! Any update on the strandees? in Russia?

Common sense finally prevails but sports minister Solomon Dalong should have been sacked as part of this. He should have told the president that the high court does nor have the jurisdiction to intervene in Fifa matters and as such the Jos verdict should never have even been considered in the first place.
