The main reason why Nigeria is in danger of suspension
is that a court sacked the recently elected Nigeria football federation executive. About a week ago,the federal high court in Jos ruled out of the last NFF elections and ushered in new executives. The main reason why Nigeria is in danger of suspension
FIFA was definitely not pleased with a civil court deciding over football matters. As a matter of fact, the just concluded female AWC which Nigeria played was as a result of pleas
President, Issa Hayatou of the Confederation of African Football warned that Nigeria is in danger of being banned by FIFA by Monday (today).Also, Hayatou told the Minister of Sports Dr. Tammy Danagogo in Namibia that they were fed up with events in Nigeria.
He said, “I had to plead with FIFA President, Mr. Sepp Blatter not to take action on Nigeria on Friday, because Nigeria was in the final of the African Women Championship and a ban on your country would have been bad for the competition and our sponsors. We all heard the news of the court ruling on Thursday, and the football world is angry with Nigeria.
FIFA has warned that If Nigeria gets suspended, they will not consider the matter until their 65th Congress on May 29, 2015.
