Maigari impeached as NFF president over 'financial misappropriation'

Members of the board of the Nigeria Football Federation NFF have impeached its president, Aminu Maigari, over allegations of financial misappropriation.

The members today passed a vote of no confidence on Maigari during an executive meeting to review Nigeria’s performance at the just concluded FIFA World Cup. The meeting held at the NFF Glass House Headquarters in Abuja.

Announcing the decision of the board members, Adamu Muazu who represents the North-West on the executive board, said Maigari was removed for Financial misappropriation & Mal-administration and that a more detailed statement on the allegations leveled against Mr. Maigari will soon be made public. He said a new election for the office of the President of the NFF has been slated for August 26th. Continue...


The First Vice President, Mike Umeh is to act as the President of the NFF until election holds in August.

Mr Maigari was earlier sacked from office on July 4th by a court order but was reinstated on July 17th after FIFA suspended Nigeria for government interference ib football matters which is against its policy.

  19. Na lie. When has this government ever removed anyone for financial whatever? The truth is Maigari is suspected to sympathise with the opposition so they wanted him out. When has the government moved so quickly to obey a court order? The court judgement gave them a good cover but unfortunately FIFA kicked so they had to come out with this lame 'details will be made public later.'

  20. So it took a whole PDP chairman to go and remove Maigari....hmmmh and tomorrow they will tell FIFA there is no government interferance in football. That is why our footbalI will never grow. Is Muazu himself clean? Was EFCC not also after him for embezzling Bauchi state money? Though I am sure now he is the President's man that matter is now history.
