World Football Governing Body, FIFA has abided by the majority decision of the NFF Appeals Committee that upheld the elections of the president, Amaju Pinnick, his Vice, Seyi Akinwumi and two board members, Felix Ayansi-Agwu and Sherif Inuwa.

The NFF sent rulings to FIFA to know its stand following the controversy generated by chairman of the committee, Barrister Okey Ajunwa Ajunwa’s report.

And in a letter signed by its General Secretary, Jerome Valcke and sent via email to the General Secretary of the NFF, Musa Amadu and copied to CAF, FIFA backed the majority decision of the Appeals Committee to uphold the elections and added that it is pleased to work with the new Amaju-Pinnick-led board.

The letter reads,

“We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 8 December 2014 including details of the ruling of the Nigeria Football Federation Appeals Committee. We note the majority decision of the Electoral Appeals Committee to uphold in their entirety the results of the Elective Congress held in Warri on 30 September 2014.

“We are therefore pleased to be able to start working with the office bearers headed by the NFF President, Amaju pinnick. We will contact you in the coming days to organise an introductory meeting between Mr Pinnick and FIFA president in Zurich .”
