The NFF through its spokesman Ademola Olajire said they were going to contest the sudden change of rules by CAF after the Super Eagles failed to qualify for next year’s tournament. Chad's decision to pull out of the qualifiers coupled with Nigeria's defeat at Alexandria meant Egypt took the only available slot.
Onigbinde, who was speaking to Complete Sports, said the NFF knew about the rules.
"I know the rules have been on for some time, so if we want CAF to change it because of us, let us try and see what the outcome will be. But I know there was a circular to that effect.
“You see what is ridiculous to me is that in spite of all our potential, we now seek ways to cutting corners and bends to achieve, I see it as being ridiculous and shameful.
“This is not the first time, it has happened on occasions, after we had failed ourselves, we now look for scapegoats and escape routes.
“It is ridiculous because I believe seriously in the ability of Nigeria to perform much better than we are performing if we do it right."
