The proprietor of Giwa football club of Jos, Chris Giwa, has insisted fight to put the Amaju Pinnick led Nigeria Football Federation out of office.
Last weekend, a court sitting in Jos sacked the current NFF board, but Pinnick revealed that he and his board
members had filed for stay-in office execution- which gives him the power to oversee affairs of the federation until the hearing is done later in May.
"We must liberate Nigerian football from the clutches of those who fed on it and make it an investor-friendly game," he said at a media briefing in Abuja.
"We want to assure the nation that this is a mandate we are going to stick to with extreme patience. We have decided to embark on this well-thought-out battle."
"We appreciate the enormity of opposition ahead of us but we shall conquer."
He further advanced arguments to why they have resorted to the courts to assert their fundamental rights.
"The court was our last resort as respectable citizens of this nation," he said.
"We had patiently followed all the laid down processes. We got the orders of the court and that gave us the rights and the power to do what we are doing." Africanfootball
"Today, the laws of the land are on our side. We had come to equity and our hands are clean."
The NFF will stage an extra-ordinary congress in Abuja today and Giwa insisted this will be a contempt of court as the congress has been suspended by the court.
"It has come to the notice of the board that the sacked Amaju Pinick board had invited some persons to Abuja to cause confusion, we wish to alert the public that we shall file contempt of court proceedings on such persons," he warned.
