'I will receive FIFA President when he comes to Nigeria, not Pinnick' - Chris Giwa

Factional President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Chris Giwa, says he and not Amaju Pinnick, will welcome the president of world football governing body, FIFA, Gianni Infantino, when he arrives Nigeria July 24th. Giwa said this at the inauguration of board members of the various Nigerian leagues in Abuja yesterday July 14th.

“The issue of who invites or who did not invite the FIFA president does not arise. All we are waiting for is to receive him if he is coming into our country; we are people that abide by the rule of law and constitution. I am sure that the FIFA president also believes in the constitution of his own country and the constitution of FIFA too. So, once he comes in, the man known by the laws of the land should be the one to receive him”he said
