Mr Dare made this known in a tweet via his official Twitter account on Friday, September 20th. Igbere TV recalls that crisis started after a Supreme court sitting granted an ex parte order to Chris Giwa.
However, Amaju Pinnick, challenged the ex parte order the Supreme Court granted Chris Giwa.Pinnick approached the court for the relief after the Supreme Court judgment which ordered him to comply with the lower court’s order that compelled him to vacate the office for Giwa.
VP Osinbajo who was then the acting President met behind closed doors with, Solomon Dalung and Amaju Pinnick at the Presidential Villa, to discuss the NFF crisis and FIFA’s threat to ban the country from international competitions.
According to Dare: “I met with the 15 Executive board members of the NFF towards charting a new direction and resolving some of the pending lingering issues.
It was a frank exchange in which I asked that everyone works with patriotic zeal to change the narrative about football administration.”
