World football –governing body, FIFA has supported Nigeria Football Federation for its handling of the case involving one –time Board Member of the Nigeria Premier League, Barrister Ray Nnaji.
Nnaji was disqualified from contesting the election of the Nigeria Premier League on certain grounds and ill –advisedly took the matter to an ordinary court of law, which contravenes tenets of football dispute resolution.
The case was eventually thrown out and he was promptly slammed with a ban from all football activities by the Nigeria Football Federation.
Apparently not happy with the decision, the failed litigant,Ray Nnaji wrote to FIFA, in a letter dated 23rd April, 2010.
After a thorough analysis of the facts reported by Nnaji,FIFA’s Director of Legal Affairs, Marco Villiger and Head of Corporate Legal, Fabienne Frei, informed Nnaji that the issue seems to be an internal matter, which does not come under the remit of the FIFA authorities.
