Jigawa Golden Stars have called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to deliver a clear verdict on their pending appeal before any rematch against Gombe United is played. The club said proceeding with the fixture without resolving the appeal would be unfair and could affect the integrity of the competition.

The disagreement stems from a previous encounter between both teams that ended in controversy, prompting Jigawa Golden Stars to seek redress from the football authorities. The club maintains that its appeal raises important issues that must be addressed before any further action is taken.

Club officials stressed that ignoring the appeal process could undermine trust in the league’s disciplinary and judicial structures. They argued that clubs deserve transparency and timely decisions, especially in matters that could influence league standings and promotion hopes.

Jigawa Golden Stars urged the NFF to act swiftly and responsibly by communicating its decision before fixing a new date for the match. The club said it remains committed to fair play and will respect whatever outcome is reached once due process is followed.
