law which the world football body had sworn to adhere to.
According to him, “The issue of who invites or who did not
invite the FIFA president does not arise.
“All we are waiting for is to receive him if he is coming
into our country; we are people that abide by the rule of law and constitution.
“I am sure that the FIFA president also believes in the constitution
of his own country and the constitution of FIFA too.
“So, once he comes in, the man known by the laws of the land
should be the one to receive him,” Giwa said.

law made him to inaugurate the Nigerian leagues’ board members.
