The Nigeria Football Federation has nominated former Chairman of the body Ibrahim Galadima to seek the Confederation of African Football executive committee elective post, reports claimed on Monday.


The endorsement followed the FIFA three-year ban on Amos Adamu from football-related activities over his alleged involvement in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups bidding scandal.


As a result Adamu has lost his executive committee positions in CAF and FIFA. And he is not qualified to stand in for the CAF executive committee election in February 2011 when his first-term tenure expires.


It was learnt that both the National Sports Commission and the NFF were in full agreement with Galadima‘s nomination.


”Nigeria is fully backing Galadima to get on the CAF exco,” a top official told MTNFootball.com on Monday.


”This was not the case with Ghana, for instance, where the government had a candidate and the FA had another.


”Now the government has to use its resources to ensure he is elected for Nigeria to still have a voice in international football.”


Galadima‘s curriculum vitae was on Monday sent to CAF and so beat the Monday midnight deadline reserved for nominations for the CAF polls.


The CAF executive committee elections will be conducted in Khartoum, Sudan, in February.


Galadima was NFA boss between 2002 and 2006.

How Adamu fell down mightily to rise up know more.

Thief commot Armed robber enter

. . . you guess.

Is Galadima really bad? (ibrahim galadima)

Is that slot opened only to the northerners or is he d only qualify candidate.

why cant dis northern pple leave polticking for once. Are they mad?
Segun odegbami is a beta candidate by far

honeric01:

His only sin was when he said "the world cup is not our birthright" when we failed to qualify for the 2006 world cup. I dont think he's corrupt

The north will hold any position of power till they prove their ineptitude to the whole world. Even then, they won't relinquish power.

Amos Adamu was from the South-west and not the North.

Ibrahim Galadima is a good candidate. . . apart from being NFA Chairman when the Super Eagles match was moved to Kano & ultimately failing to qualify for Germany 2006 and his controversial "World Cup is not Nigeria's Birthright'' statement, he has no other luggage IMO.

At least, he has never been alleged to be corrupt or accused of corruption like Amos Adamu. Still, I would have preferred Segun Odegbami or former NFA Chairman, Kodjo Williams

Very good news.Final nail in Amos Adamu's(aka Tunde Aremu) coffin

medjai:

His only sin was when he said "the world cup is not our birthright" when we failed to qualify for the 2006 world cup. I dont think he's corrupt

And was he lying?

honeric01:

And was he lying?

No he wasn't but he shouldn't have said it being that he was the head of the NFA

medjai:

What do you mean by his only sin? Our football is in a sorry state today because of series of bad administrators that have headed the glass house in the past decade of which Galadima is one. He also contributed to the downfall of football in this country.

Why we people blame IBB for coming back. This country needs a revolution and not a democracy.Tomorrow Sani Lulu will come back for one stupid position to continue to steal and to destroy. Shame on NFF.

, birds of a feather!
Recycling of human waste is bad business.

GALADIMA again, Segun odegbami or mitchell obi is the right person for the seat.

We should blame Amos Adamu for given them the opportunity.
Galadinma is not corrupt like Adamu. When they disengaged him from Nfa seat , he left $1.5million dollars behind , the people that came after him finished in one fell swoop. Adamu was calling the shot then.

Amos Adamu was from the South-west and not the North. [/color]
[color=Black]

Amos adamu is fromthe north, he has denied being from the south all his working life so we reject the thief now.

Odegbami would not have accepted NFF's nomination

donobi:

GALADIMA again, Segun odegbami or mitchell obi is the right person for the seat.

Kindly justify the ability of the two men above?

Galadima should replace Adamu already

donobi:

GALADIMA again, Segun odegbami or mitchell obi is the right person for the seat.

Sorry mate,we're talking about CAF and FIFA executive committee seats here,not your local newspaper column or radio/TV journalism seat

and what makes Galadima more knowledgeable than the two he mentioned?

Amos Adamu was from the South-west and not the North

just like Olusola/Bukola Saraki are from South West abi?

tkb417:

and what makes Galadima more knowledgeable than the two he mentioned?

He once was chairman of the FA
He has experience in football administration,while the other two have been mere observers in football administration.It's an insult to even compare Segun Odegbami,and a bigger insult to compare Mitchel Obi with Galadima in the area of football administration

Those two are practically neophytes who need to be weaned first before they can then proceed to understudy well renowned sports administrators at that level to s cut their teeth

tkb417:

Are you equating Ogbomosho in Osun state with Kwara in the middle belt of Nigeria

ill start from the scratch

where was Galadima b4 he became the NFA chairman?

what experience did he have?

Oneya and the other peeps that have been ruling the glass house. Segun Odegbami has not been able to rule the glass house because of the way the position has been politicized not because he doesnt have the requisite knowledge of football admin

and oh yeah, Segun is more of a footie technocrat that Galadima and he has investments in football. He didnt stumble of football

rasputinn:

is Amos Adamu from Osun or Kogi state?

tkb417:

is Amos Adamu from Osun or Kogi state?

Like someone rightly pointed out,his name is Tunde Aremu aka Amos Adamu.He is from Osun state
Were you not at his daughter's traditional wedding in Ogbomosho?

tkb417:

what experience did he have?

Galadima was already on the board of the FA before he became chairman of the NFA.This is what I consider pre-requisite qualification to aspire to higher offices such as CAF,then FIFA exec committees,those neophytes you mentioned,dont have this experience yet

Membership/chairmanship of the NFA(or is it NFF now) would be a better suggestion for Odegbami and Obi
