The Ibrahim Galadima-led Reconciliation Committee yesterday began sitting in Abuja with the aim of establishing sanity to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) ongoing presidential tussle.
Already notable stakeholders including the president of the NFF, Amaju Pinnick, chairman of the Technical Committee of the federation, Chris Green as well as a former chairman of the then Nigeria Football Association (NFA), Brigadier-General Dominic Oneya (rtd.) amongst others honoured the invitation of the committee.
Confirming their appearance, spokesman of the NFF, Ademola Olajire told reporters that the committee was set up to ensure that peace returns to Nigerian football adding that all relevant stakeholders will have their opportunity to appear before it.
However there are concerns that the leader of the group laying claims to the leadership of the NFF, Chris Giwa and some of his associates may shun the committee as they were yesterday said to be concluding plans to take over the secretariat.
The Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung had set up the Galadima Committee at the wake of the latest crisis which followed the ruling of a Jos High Court which ruled that the Giwa group is the authentic board of the NFF. Already the Amaju Pinnick-led board had appealed the ruling.
