NFF IMPEACHES ITS PRESIDENT, MAIGARI President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Aminu Maigari has been impeached by the Federations Executive Committee on Thursday. Maigari was impeached by eight votes to five of the 13-man Executive Committee as members reconvened to review Nigeria’s participation at the just concluded World Cup in Brazil. In a communiqué issued by the Chairman of the Communiqué Drafting Committee, Muazu Suleyman after the meeting, Maigari was accused of financial misappropriation, misapplication and maladministration. After thorough and exhaustive deliberations on the uncalled-for secrecy surrounding all financial dealings of the Federation and failure to call meeting of the Executive Committee for the past eight (8) months, during which so many weighty decisions on Nigeria football had been taken by a small cabal within the Board, the Executive Committee passed a vote of no confidence on the NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari. 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 1st Vice President, Chief Mike Okeke 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, the communique reads in part.
