High Chief of Modakeke and former FIFA/CAF Technical Instructor, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde, said that the sacked NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, was the cause of his impeachment.
Impeached NFF President Alhaji Aminu Maigari
Onigbinde said: “The moment a leader chooses to lead from behind, allowing his subordinates to begin to dictate for him, then his end is imminent.
“When they were in South Africa, in January for the CHAN, I called Maigari on his mobile phone and asked why the Nigeria Premier League should be stopped when only 23 players of the home based Super Eagles made the CHAN team.
“Surprisingly he replied by saying it was the duty of the (NFF) technical committee. That indeed shows he was not in-charge.
“The impeachment was done by the Executive Board so let’s wait for its ratification by the congress.
“But all that has beginning also have an end also. What matters most is not his impeachment but what really happens after the impeachment.”
He spoke further that when such end comes to such a leader, as it really happened to Maigari last Thursday, such leader alone bears the effect.
“If in a committee of 13 members, eight (8) say they are not aware of what you are doing, then something is really wrong.
“Unfortunately, it’s going to affect him more than anyone else, it’s going to knock on his head alone.”
Onigbinde added: “When they (Maigari’s NFF) came on board, sorry to be personal, the technical committee chairman called me to serve in one of their committees. Later Maigari himself called me and said same thing and I accepted.
“But till now, no one has called me to say I’m no longer in the committee.”
Thursday’s decision of eight out of the 13 executive committee members in Abuja means that Alhaji Aminu Maigari became the fourth NFF President to be impeached after Kojo Williams, Alhaji Galadima Ibrahim and Alhaji Sani Lulu Abdullahi.
