A Jos High Court ruled Giwa as president of the NFF after sacking president Amaju Pinnick from office.

Giwa has always claimed that the September, 2014 election which put Pinnick in office was faulty but his case has been ruled out by FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sports.

The NFF responded swiftly by filing an appeal to vacate the order and a motion for a stay-of-execution against the judgement of the Jos High Court.

The appeal filed on the same day as the court order means the status quo remains, meaning Pinnick remains NFF President pending determination of suit.

In response to the drama, world football governing body FIFA, have informed NFF that they face sanction if Pinnick is removed as president.

According to the letter by FIFA dated April 11, 2016, if the decision of the federal high court in Jos last week is carried out, it would be considered an interference in the internal affairs of the NFF.

Giwa is however ignoring all these developments and plans to formally assume duty at the NFF glasshouse on Wednesday, April 13.

In a press conference held in Abuja today, Giwa flanked by members of his board insist that all committees of the NFF has been dissolved and also announced the dissolution of all state FA, OwnGoal Nigeria reports.

He maintained the Jos court order that nullified the elections that brought Pinnick and his board into existence clearly installed him as the president of the NFF.

The Jos born club owner said he is hinging his claim on the statues of the NFF that recognizes the law of the Nigeria as supreme to that of FIFA in legal tussles.
