Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick and his board members would continue to stay in office as embattled Chris Giwa attempt to occupy the Glass House in Abuja suffers another setback.

At the resumption of the case on Wednesday at the Federal High Court sitting in Jos, the case was adjourned to September 25, thus giving Pinnick and his board to continue in office.

The verdict will come four days before the fresh elections into the new NFF board, which will hold on the September 29 in Katsina.

It would be recalled that in contrast with wide spread hope that the case would eventually be vacated on Monday, July 30 in order to avert a possible hammer from world soccer governing body, FIFA, the Jos Court adjourned hearing of the matter till Wednesday(yesterday).

Last July 12, the court failed to stop Giwa from occupying the Glass House of the NFF’s headquarters as requested by Pinnick.

The development was sequel to the inability of Pinnick’s legal team to press for the vacation of ex-parte order of the court, which recognised Giwa as the authentic president of NFF.

Justice Musa Kurya, the presiding judge of a Jos High Court, in the case between Yahaya Adama and Aminu Maigari and three others had on June 5 made an order asking Pinnick to vacate the Glass House for Giwa.

However, about four weeks ago, Giwa’s group stormed the NFF Secretariat and took control on the strength of a court ruling, but on Monday, July 23, Giwa was asked to vacate the seat by the government.

The government said that it gave the order because Nigeria would respect world football governing body’s position on the matter, which recognised Pinnick as the President of NFF.

It remains to seen what the activities of two factions will be in the aftermath of the adjournment of the case to September 25.
