World football governing body, FIFA, today
Thursday August 14th ordered the re-instatement of
impeached Aminu Maigari as president of the
Nigerian Football Federation, NFF.
The directive, which was conveyed in an email
signed by the Deputy Secretary General of FIFA,
Markus Kattner and sent to the NFF Secretary
General Musa Amadu, stated that the NFF
leadership must remain as status quo prior to the
World cup in Brazil.
Mr Maigari was on July 24th impeached from office
after a vote of no confidence was passed by some
members of the NFF board. This will be the second
time FIFA will be using its power to reinstate
Maigari. With this new directive, Maigari and all his
13 board members earlier suspended will return to
office until August 26th when a fresh election will
take place.
