Why We Vacated Suit Against NFF – Baribote

Former Nigeria Premier
League boss Victor Baribote has said he got his wife to vacate the law suit against the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) because vengeance belongs only to God.
“We looked at the situation and agreed that revenge belongs to God. And that it would be wrong for us to insist on our position to the detriment of millions of Nigerian youths and our country,” Baribote said.
“So, we decided that we vacate the case.”
However, he also said his wife gave two conditions before the ruling was quashed.
“Yes, she gave two conditions. That the board of the NPL be reinstated and allowed to run their term,” he said.
“And the second condition is that my ban be lifted.”
Baribote dragged Nigeria football to a civil court, which is against FIFA statutes, following his recent ban.
The Jos High court ruling led to the country’s sports minister appointing an acting general secretary for the NFF and this in turn led to a FIFA ban on Nigeria.
However, after the court ruling was set aside late Wednesday,  the NFF led by president Aminu Maigari is expected to return to work, for FIFA to now lift the ban against the country.
