The personnel of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have agreed to go spiritual as they declared fasting and prayers to solve the persistent crises which have engulfed the football house for over seven months now.
One of the personnel who pleaded anonymity said that the workers are worst hit by the crises, saying spiritual cleansing was the only way out to save Nigerian football.
The source noted that the workers believed that it has become absolutely important that they seek the face of God in resolving the crisis permanently.
“We have no choice but to declare this prayer session because we are getting tired of these troubles in our football.
“We are the ones suffering more in this trouble and people outside may not know that. So, Christians and Muslims come together to organize the prayer session.
“It is not only prayer session, we also declared fasting and we encourage our members to fast from morning to 6pm and those who are not able to make it till 6pm they were encouraged to break by 3pm.
“The prayers were massive, the Christian prayed in their own way, the Muslims prayed and you could see the manner the prayer went, you will know that members of staff were really concerned with what is going on in the NFF secretariat,” the source said.
The troubles rocking NFF seem to be over as FIFA has upheld the majority report of the Appeals Committee.
