World football governing body has said Maigari and his tsecretary-general Musa Amadu mus resume work this week after the federation’s office would have been vacated by Chris Giwa and his group, who claimed to have won a recent election.
Amadu resumed work on Monday, while Maigari returned to his desk Tuesday.
But Danagogo, whose poor handling of the impasse bedeviling Nigerian football has been condemned in several quarters, stirred more controversy on Tuesday when he said Maigari should not have returned to the Glass House.
FIFA has asked Maigari to convene an executive committee meeting to set a date for the body’s general assembly as soon as possible.
The global body has equally warned the country will be banned till its next congress in May 2015 should there be any hindrance to the NFF elections planned for this month.
“I’m not aware that Maigari or whoever has resumed office. The secretary general Musa Amadu who I’m aware resumed office on Monday told me that he has been able to discharge his duties without any problem,” africanFootball.com quoted Danagogo as saying to journalists on Tuesday.
“As at this morning (Tuesday) when Amadu spoke to me, he didn’t tell me any other person had reported to office.
“I will not rely on hearsay until I get report from persons who are meant to brief me about that.
“Before now, we advised all parties, Maigari group, Giwa group, or persons involved in the entire crisis to stay aside pending when issues are sorted out.”
He claimed his directive was to avoid a fight between the groups. (thenationonlineng)
