Lulu impeached by board

Posted: 2010-07-04 14:10

NFF President Sani Lulu Abdullahi has been impeached by along with first Vice President Amanze Uchegbulam and Technical Committee chairman Taiwo Ogunjobi. 

Nine of the 13 members of the Executive Committee met in Abuja and voted to impeach the leadership.

Aminu Maigari will now take over as interim President with Obinna Ogba as the new interim first vice President.

The decisions still have to be ratified by the full NFF Congress.

Lulu, Uchegbulam, Ogunjobi and NFF General Secretary Bolaji Ojo Oba were absent from the meeting.

I thought the board was not sacked, but that Jonathan just withdrew Nigeria from participation in FIFA events for two years. Or was the board sacked?

Sepp Blatter's arrogance is getting unbecoming.

Why is Sepp Blatter picking and choosing what management organisation from Nigeria it will deal with?

Honestly if FIFA remains resolute in saying that the technical committe set up by the Government will not be recognised then Jonathan has a duty to ignore FIFA.

Sepp Blatter can not run our country for us. Dictatorship from a Government is unacceptable but Dictatorship from FIFA is also unacceptable.

A new board will probably emerge after the elections, so there's no need to sack them all.
Re: Sani Lulu Has Been Impeached By NFF Board: Breaking News by DrKitaun(m): 8:49pm On Jul 04, 2010
There wont be any elections. . . .EFCC has already swung into action to hound them.

Re: Sani Lulu Has Been Impeached By NFF Board: Breaking News by nomoneydow: 9:19am On Jul 05, 2010
why the 3 men only?

we want the head of the whole board
Re: Sani Lulu Has Been Impeached By NFF Board: Breaking News by Redman44(m): 9:22am On Jul 05, 2010
Whoa!! This is good news. However, I don't like the idea of another Hausa/Fulani/kanuri man heading the NFF sad sad  I am not being tribalistic here but the guys from the North have not really made a good impact as football administrators in Nigeria.  This is how it starts and before we know it, Aminu Maigari will become the permanent NFF President. Personally, I want the whole board sacked and the playing field of NFF Politics made level for any Nigerian [ Both Home and Abroad ] to contest for positions during the elections. I don't so much believe in John Fashanu. I've not seen what he has done on his own to help Nigerian football develop. Where has he been all the while? Some guys in the media have been doing PR Jobs for Mr Fashanu in his bid to become NFF President. John Fashanu does not really have what it takes to take us to the promised land. I'm looking at this humble lagosian known as Waidi Akanni. The guy rocks!!

Whatever happens next after the ouster of Sani Lulu, Amanze Uchegbulam, Taiwo Ogunjobi [ Mr Ojo-Oba needs to be impeached too ], I don't want another Northerner running the NFF. It is not their birthright. Cheers.

They should have taken this decision along time n not leaving it this late when this 'politicians' covering as administrators have ridiculed the nation amongst d world. I suggest ojo oba should follow them cos the fool has caused more pain n sorrow than good to nigeria football. They should as a matter tender a very passionate n unreserved apology to millions of nigerians 4 their misdeed.

According to Fifa, the board cannot be sacked by the Government. This impeachment is the FIFA way to sack the board.

This was done as a first show to appease the Governement and the people so as to set a timetable for new elections and a restructure of Nigerian Football hence staving off the FIFA Ban once they rescind their decision
Re: Sani Lulu Has Been Impeached By NFF Board: Breaking News by bisiaet: 9:47am On Jul 05, 2010
Well impeached or sack or whatever these group of people in NFF has gone that is the most important the way every Nigeria are sick and tired of eagle so also everybody are sick and tired of them.

At least for now glass house will be at peace, let there be a new begining that is what everybody wanted.

Re: Sani Lulu Has Been Impeached By NFF Board: Breaking News by Nobody: 10:44am On Jul 05, 2010
Goodluck Jonathan is only playing to the gallery in my view except there something i dont know or have not heard but,can somebody answer this questions for me:
1, what was done when 62 national assembly members left this country for south Africa with tax payers money to watch football.
2, what were we expecting when N1.2 billion was approved for the world Cup
3,what is the achievement of the entire NFF board in terms of football

maybe somebody should remind mr. president that The last time Nigeria withdrew from international football events, it did irreparable damage to the football team. After winning the 1994 African Nations Cup, General Sani Abacha banned the national team from defending its title at the 1996 edition in South Africa due to issues with South African President Nelson Mandela.
As punishment, Nigeria was banned from the 1998 African Nations Cup, and its golden generation of players such as Okocha, George, Oliseh, Amunike, Amokachi, Ikpeba, Yekini, Taribo West, Okechukwu Uche and others were prevented from defending the title and from possible victory at the 1996 and 1998 tournaments. By the time Nigeria was re-admitted in 2000, this golden generation had aged and were past their prime. Nigerian football has not been the same since
Mr. President should also be reminded that denying international football to the national team will stagnate growth and starve players of quality competition. It will also affect the work permits of UK based players like mikel,Yakubu, Yobo, Olofinjana and other Nigerian players that want to move to the UK. Renewal and granting of work permits is conditional on playing a stipulated number of matches for Nigeria’s national team.
OUR LEADERS SHOULD KNOW OR BE TOLD THEIR BOUNDARY ON ISSUES OF THIS MAGNITUDE

Very intelligent comments.

I wonder if the president expected us to win to world cup. The writing was on the wall after the nations cup debacle. It was no surprise that the teams to flopped in the nations cup performed similarly in the world cup. Apart from Ghana who didi Africa proud.

Lets just swallow the bitter pill and forget this suspension/banning nonsense. Nigeria football is corrupt. It did not get there overnight or in two years, but several years of absolute misrule.

Jonathan should wake up and hands off football. The entire NFF/NFA should resign and for once allow people that know something about football manage it ie ex-international players within the last 15 years.
