Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) scribe Musa Amadu has denied allegations of forgery of a FIFA letter that upheld the ‘majority’ decision of the NFF Appeals Committee on the general elections held in Warri on September 30.

In an earlier communiqué by the NFF’s media officer, it was stated that FIFA has sent a letter signed by its Secretary General Jerome Valke on Tuesday which upheld the report by the four other members of the Appeals Committee while upturning the minority position of the chairman Okechukwu Ajunwa, who declared that the elections contradicted the NFF Electoral Code and Statutes and voided four positions, including those of the President, Vice President, the representative of the North West and the representative of the South East.

The NFF Scribe however lashed out at media reports that the alleged was the author of the FIFA letter and that there was no such letter from the world football governing body.

“Anybody that makes such allegation has to come with a proof because forgery is a criminal offence.”

I am not the one manufacturing FIFA Letter or forging Jerome Valke’s signature. I challenge whoever has the evidence to back up this accusation to provide it to the police so that I can be prosecuted for criminal offence,” Amdau said.

“I have been unfairly maligned, abused and called many names in the course of the crisis, but I have decided not to take sides by following due process. I have nothing against anybody — Ogunjobi, Pinnick, Dikko, Maigari and Giwa. I am only obliged to support whoever is recognized by law as the one in charge of the NFF.

When the NFF problem started, I was here when they brought a letter saying that I should leave. I complied and they later recalled me,” Amadu said. In relation to NFF, FIFA received two parallel reports last week by the Appeals Committee before it took a position on Tuesday on the recommendation of the reports as it affected the status of the NFF election.

The majority report upheld by FIFA was faxed to Zurich by Amadu after he received it from the Secretary of the Elections Appeal Committee, Sanusi Mohammed, while Ajunwa bypassed the NFF secretariat by directly sending a copy of the report to FIFA on December 5.

Amadu told reporters in Abuja that he decided to send the Ajunwa report to FIFA on Monday after he got a copy of the 80-page report sent by Ajunwa via courier service same day at about 11.17 am.

“So FIFA has decided on which of the two reports should be upheld under the prevailing circumstances. We can’t be talking about forgery in this regard because it bothers on mischief,” he said.
