FIFA has given the Nigerian Football Federation up until Monday 8 September to put its house in order else the dangling hammer will fall.
According to a statement on the world governing football body's website issued on Wednesday handing Chris Giwa more grace to stand down as the head of the NFF along side his executives.
''The NFF will be suspended with immediate effect should there still be persons claiming to have been elected to NFF positions on 26 August 2014 and occupying their offices on Monday, 8 September 2014 at 08.00 (Central European Time),'' the statement read.
From the above position, it could therefore be said that the recognised leader of the NFF is Aminu Maigari.
The statement further reads:
''Should the new deadline not be respected, the NFF will be automatically suspended until the board claiming to be elected vacates the premises of the NFF and the NFF General Secretary is able to perform his work without interference.
''The NFF Executive Committee as it was composed on 25 August 2014, meaning under the presidency of Aminu Maigari, should then convene as soon as possible a first extraordinary general assembly to elect the members of the electoral committee and a second extraordinary general assembly in the shortest time possible allowed by law in order to proceed with the elections of new NFF office-bearers.''
