The world football governing body, FIFA, has finally
contacted the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, after its ultimatum expired
on Monday, 8 September, 2014.
NFF was given until Monday morning for a rival
faction to relinquish control of the NFF and for its embattled President, Aminu
Maigari and his staff to be allowed back to their posts after having seen off
two attempted bids to sweep them from office over the last months.
Had they been suspended on Monday, Nigeria would have
forfeited the crucial African Nations Cup qualifier against South Africa
in Cape Town on Wednesday and been disqualified, leaving them unable to defend
their Nations Cup crown.
The NFF was given the ultimatum last week after Maigari
was voted out of office through an election not recognised by FIFA
