The Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr Solomon Dalung told newsmen in Abuja that he will not be compelled to sack the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF President, Amaju Pinnick and his board members based on social media gossip.
Dalung said that he would only take a decision after his meeting with the football federation's officials on Tuesday.
“I implement laws based on facts on ground. I cannot use social media gossips as a basis. It is unfortunate not to qualify for AFCON 2017, but I believe we have learnt from our mistakes and hope that such would not repeat itself again. It is true that we need to review some of the country`s football structure. We have to measure up to expectation.
"We are meeting with the leadership of the NFF on Tuesday, to receive a comprehensive report and review the authentic technical reports they would present," he said.
Since the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the AFCON 2017 championship, there have been calls for Amaju Pinnick and his board members to resign from office.
