The factional President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Chris Giwa said on Thursday that he, instead of Amaju Pinnick, would receive the FIFA President Gianni Infantino when he arrives in Nigeria on July 23.

Giwa who spoke in Abuja at the inauguration of board members of the various Nigerian leagues said that his decision was informed on the rule of law which FIFA had sworn to adhere to.

“The issue of who invites or who did not invite the FIFA president does not arise.

“All we are waiting for is to receive him if he is coming into our country; we are people that abide by the rule of law and constitution.

“I am sure that the FIFA president also believes in the constitution of his own country and the constitution of FIFA too.

“So, once he comes in, the man known by the laws of the land should be the one to receive him,” Giwa said.

Recall that both Giwa and Pinnick are laying claims to being the legitimate president of the NFF.
