The crisis bedeviling the NFF has incurred the wrath of world football governing body Fifa, who threatened the Glass House with a ban on Monday following the alleged third-party interference in the running of the sport in the country.
“I have not seen any court order, what I got was an order dated 2014 and not 2016,” said Dalung, as he declared open an extra-ordinary congress of the NFF in Abuja on Wednesday.
The minister also took a swipe at the country’s media, saying the more press bashing he gets, the more dogged he becomes.
“I have survived five assassination attempts, I am a guerrilla man, the more media attacks I get, the happier I am,” he revealed.
“I am calm and stable.” Dalung further stressed on the need for unity in the football fraternity in light of the current crisis.
“There are so many problems and football must put their house in order. They must narrow the gap between,” he urged. “We are interested in your unity, talk to yourselves because investors have run away.”
Meanwhile, the Fifa-recognised board of the NFF has dragged Chris Giwa and his loyalists to the disciplinary committee of the federation in a bid to restore order to the country’s football.
