Factional president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Chris Giwa has warned Amaju Pinnick to respect the court order that sacked him from office and stop parading himself as president of the NFF.
Giwa in a statement released on Thursday maintained that the extra ordinary congress of the NFF held yesterday was an aberration of the court ruling which has restrained Amaju Pinnick and his board from parading themselves as executive members of the NFF.
He threatened if Pinnick fails to stop parading himself as president of the NFF he will be forced to take legal action against him and every other person who participated in the Emergency Congress of the NFF which took place yesterday.
