After holding hours of meeting, the embattled board
of the Nigeria football federation led by Aminu
Maigari have called for a government probe into their
finances.
The Maigari-led NFF have been accused of corruption
by stakeholders in the country, chiefly by former NFF
president, Sani Lulu who wrote a letter to president
Goodluck Jonathan to probe the embattled NFF
board.
Speaking after the meeting, NFF executive
committee member Emeka Inyama has dared the
federal government, by calling for a probe into the
NFF finances.
He said: "We thank president Goodluck Jonathan for
his support and the sports minister for his fatherly
role.
"We've heard so much about the NFF finances, so we
have resolved and call on the federal government to
set up a probe panel to look into the NFF finances so
that the issue can be laid to rest.
"The board is ready to account for every money
received and spent. I think it's only fair to hear the
side of the NFF before jumping into conclusions on
any form of embezzlement.
"We call for a probe and quickly too so that the
credibility of football can be restored in Nigeria,"
Inyama said.
He also spoke on the seeming division in the NFF
board by denying any of such, saying all waring
parties have been reconciled.
"There's no form of division in the NFF. We have
settled all the differences and we hop for a peaceful
election next month. All interested parties are
encouraged to participate as it will be a fair playing
ground," he added. www.sl10.ng/news/articles/categories/south-africa/nff-board-dares-nigerian-government-calls-for-probes-into-finances/169821
