The Nigeria Football Federation has denied that the Federal Government has filed charges against its leadership following corruption allegations by the Special Presidential Investigative Panel .
The Nigeria Football Federation notes that it has been inundated with enquiries about charges allegedly filed against its leadership by the Federal Government of Nigeria. NFF denies that FG has filed any such charges.
The determination of SPIP and Chief Okono-Obla to act unlawfully and in undisguised bias against NFF and its leadership is well documented and forms the basis of NFF’s petition to the Hon. Attorney-General and Minister of Justice since January 2019, as well joining the office of the Hon. Attorney-General in all the suits we have filed against SPIP. We are confident that this regrettable matter will be appropriately dealt with in the due course.
Another example of the desperation and wickedness motivating these false allegations is the SPIP allegation that, in 2014 “during the FIFA World Cup at Abuja”, FIFA appearance fees paid by FIFA was converted to personal use. This is despite the fact that there was no FIFA World Cup in Abuja in 2014, a naked fact known to the whole world.
Furthermore, FIFA has consistently given a clean bill of health to NFF regarding its management of FIFA funds. FIFA has never alleged any fraud or misappropriation of its resources or funds made available to NFF and has continued to engage the NFF in its normal operational transactions.
This is awful timing with the Africa Nations Cup just round the corner. Why do we have a penchant to self destruct?
