NFF President, Aminu Maigari Impeached By NFF Executive Board

President of the federation Alhaji Aminu Maigari has been sacked again by Nigerian Football Federation board members. The decision was taken at an Executive Committee meeting of the Federation which was held on Thursday in Abuja.

The vote of no confidence was made against the NFF president due to unnecessary secrecy surrounding all financial dealings and failure to call meeting of the Executive committee for the past eight months.

The decision of the members was communication through a communiqué signed by the finance committee chairman Alhaji Muazu Suleyman as the Chairman, Communiqué Drafting Committee.

The statement read in part, “In view of the above, the Committee approved the immediate dismissal of Alhaji Aminu Maigari, from the NFF Executive Committee on grounds of financial misappropriation, misapplication and maladministration.

“The Committee resolved to mandate the First Vice President, Chief Mike Umeh as Acting President, to preside over the affairs of the Federation, pending the composition of the new NFF Executive Committee after the elections of Tuesday, 26th August, 2014.”
