Following the threat by the Chris Giwa faction of Nigeria football stakeholders to forcefully take over the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF Secretariat on 16 January 2016 and sack the Amaju Pinnick faction, Minister of Youths and Sports, Mr Solomon Dalung has warned them not to go anywhere near the Abuja Glass House.
In a statement issued yesterday by his SA (Media), Nneka Ikem Anibeze, the minister warned ;
“It has come to my knowledge once again, that anarchy is being adopted as a method for addressing grievances in the Nigeria Football Federation.
"As a peacemaker and also a Minister of Youth and Sports, I will always implore Nigerians to apply the use of dialogue and consensus in resolving crisis. This my posture should not be taken as weakness but as a well intended way of promoting peace among people.
I reiterate this again and again that I am standing with nobody in the crisis of the NFF but will always stand for due process…..
Chris Giwa and his group should not take the petition brought to my table as a license for anarchy. I will not endorse that today. I will not endorse that to- morrow and I will not endorse that forever.
Therefore, I urge all warring factions to remain very calm and peaceful so that we will not destroy the image and progress built so far in football. "
