Nigeria Football Federation chairman, Amaju Pinnick, has been reportedly removed as vice president of CAF.

The action was taken at CAF’s exco committee meeting taking place after the conclusion of Thursday’s congress, according to BBC’s Osasu Obayiuwana, who did not detail the reason in his twitter post.

Constant Omari is now CAF’s first vice president, while Morocco’s Fouzi Lekjaa is the second vice and South Africa’s Danny Jordaan the third.

CAF exco has been faced with fraud allegations in recent time, with president Ahmad Ahmad arrested and detained for hours in France.

Pinnick is also facing court case over fraud allegation in his home town in Nigeria, where he has refused to show up in court.

Good news.

Pinnick is killing our football...

Good riddance .
Make efcc kill this guy joor

karma will ensure he's arrested and jailed with the loot recovered

This Danny Jordan sef, I see him as the future CAF President. He's a wonderful sports administrator, did an excellent job in the 2010 world cup

Imagine

I think Mr Pinnick should also resign as the NFF president, but I know this is like asking a dog not to eat bone.
Nigerians are not known for resigning if they are found wanting

Remove him for who? Another corrupt idiot fighting him?

Why always us

Let him come and face prosecution at home for corruption

The bane of the South-south people is their love for easy money.Pinnick had the opportunity to go places but love for filthy lucre no gree am.

Leonbonapart:
Why always us

Because you people are not serious, refuse to learn and change, and frankly practice corrupted legacy from Britain.

You are right about the removing him as the NFF chairman... But do you know that some people here will start shouting Nepotism and Witch-hunting.

And you didn't know on occasion he was suspended/ removed that FIFA threatened to ban Nigeria from all competitions if his suspension or removal stood?

You probably do not know anything about FIFA rules. Government has no power to remove him. If there are evidences of corruption against him, government can take him to court and let the court sentence him accordingly.

Killing which football? Explain or keep shut!
Allow the dude a breather. Serious politics is ongoing in CAF and Pinnick as well as Ahmad are being doubled by the Hayatou faction.
I won't be surprised if Giwa is playing the Hayatou script too.

Very good. Buhari is next. Las las naija go better

So you don't know FIFA's stand on Government's interference in football?
