It seems the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is never far from controversy, with the latest issue involving its immediate past president, Amaju Pinnick.<\/p>\n

The NFF is still reeling from its recent altercation with the members of the Super Falcons over the payment of their dues.<\/p>\n

The issue saw FIFA deciding to pay the players their allowances directly from the allocation due to the NFF from the Women's World Cup.<\/p>\n

The ghost of the past has come back to haunt the federation in a civil matter that does not involve the NFF.<\/p>\n

The latest brouhaha involves prominent Afro-Pop music star and former NFF president Amaju Pinnick<\/a> over an alleged breach of contract.<\/p>\n

Warri Again is a musical concert organised every year in Delta State.<\/p>\n

The concert by Juliet Pinnick, the wife of former NFF president Amaju Pinnick, is in its 19th edition but was shrouded in controversy.<\/p>\n

Pinnick has thrown a jibe at Davido<\/a>, alleging a breach of contract.<\/p>\n

According to the former football head honcho, Davido received $94,000 to perform at the show with another $18,000 for a private jet to convey him to Warri, but he failed to show up.<\/p>\n

Pinnick made the allegations while speaking at the event in Warri, expressing his dissatisfaction at the absence of the Afrobeat star.<\/p>\n

Without mincing words, Pinnick claimed that by not performing at the event, Davido breached the contract reached between him and the organizers despite receiving full payment.<\/p>\n
