This bizarre news clearly demonstrates the state at which Nigeria football is, as Nigeria Football Association (NFF) is going through a series of litigation issues
The state of Nigerian football is currently on the verge of crisis point, the BBC reports, with current Nigerian Football Federation president Ameju Pinnick being challenged for power by Chris Gawa, with a court order ruling that Giwa should replace Pinnock even though he is recognized by FIFA.
In a move to try and seize control of the Federation’s operations, Giwa went ahead and published the list of referees for this weekend’s Premier League action, but he failed to notice that Akinsanya who was penned in to officiate the Wolves vs Giwa fixture – died in January this year.
