Onigbinde allays fears of Fifa ban

Former Fifa and Caf instructor Chief Adegboye Onigbinde has said that Fifa won’t ban Nigeria for the court order that ousted the Pinnick board just as it has not done anything about the recent court order in Egypt.

According to him some persons have been using the name of Fifa to threaten Nigeria in the past and there is no fooling anybody on the issue again since it is an internal matter.

"What I know is that I don’t expect Fifa to ban Nigeria on this case. In the past some persons have been used to threaten that Fifa would ban the country but with what is happening to Fifa and at Fifa now we all know that there is no international law that supersedes the law of the land,” Onigbinde said.

"The only thing is that we should use this period to put our football in good stead and curb this decline in our football. Everybody should be called to a round table to discuss the way forward for Nigerian football,” he advised.
