Nigeria’s Samson Adamu named CAF’s acting General Secretary

Nigeria’s Samson Adamu has been appointed Acting General Secretary of the Confederation of African football, CAF.

Adamu replaces Veron Mosengo-Omba of DR Congo.

Mosengo-Omba recently stepped down to participate in the election for President of the Football Federation of DR Congo, FECOFA.

Adamu currently serves as CAF’s Director of Competitions.

The football administrator is well respected within CAF.

He is the son of Dr. Amos Adamu, the former FIFA Executive Committee member who was banned from football following a corruption scandal in 2010.

Congratulations to him.

Hope he was not among the Bunch of Jokers that took that nonsense Boardroom Decision to re-award already won Trophy to Morocco.

He is the son of Dr. Amos Adamu, the former FIFA Executive Committee member who was banned from football following a corruption scandal in 2010.

Since football administration is in their DNA, hope the other part isn’t genetic also?

I hope this one will make Nigéria proud


If not for that scandal his father

Amos Adamu would have been become Nigeria's first CAF president

Smh.

It was a Delta-state born Nigerian Judge who ruled against Senegal. CAF only complied with the ruling.

Nigeria is more than involved in CAF but we play it codedly.

⁶Samson Adamu appointment as CAF acting secretary general has made him the first Nigerian to hold such a position in 69 years of CAF existence

...

Don't say what you don't know.
It was CAF's Appeals & Disciplinary Committee, set up & funded by CAF, that ruled.

So in essence, it was CAF that passed the nonsense Ruling.

Lol

Another underground spiritual game

I hope they're not trying to look for ways of damage control and saving face after the Afcon cup saga by using a black African to put out their statements and communiques.

COMRADES, let him stay away from match fixing oo because we Nigerians too dey die quick quick because of greed

This one nah Amaju Pinic boy, CAF + NFF + Morocco FA are bunch of corrupt entities . CAF should even be scrapped and let's FIFA be the one to create an African league where top 8 represents Africa in WC

Make this guy go barb his hair now. Abi kilode

Na the kind job wey Kalulu44 like be this. Enough egunje to go round

The son of Amos Adamu? The fruit does not fall far from it tree. Let's hope he doesn't adopt his father's legacy.

CAF is now a joke abeg. Isa Hayoutu abi na wetin was the last president of cafe.

U sure say no be this guy rule against Senegal to favour Morocco with the caf cup

Hope he won't increased the corruption there?

Like my friend's brother would always say, 'In this life, find your level, maintain there'.
Despite his father's past corruption scandal, these ones still get moth for CAF

Go and learn how arbitration works.
Ignorance is bliss

Any Nigerian working under that Motsepe( or whatever he's called) has to be careful not to become fantastically corrupted by him and Morroco!
Oh wait...you're Amos Adamu's son? ...Opari!

Football governing bodies are closer to cartels and cults rather than upstanding institutions.

You just don't know how they are set up, how they recruit members and how the ladder of accession works.

For heaven's sake where did this guy come from....son of a person banned for corruption representing who.....Nigeria.
No abeg. He is representing himself.

Time has come for this country to look inwards and start the process of interrogating how our sports sector works. How it is constituted, administered and operated. How the leadership recruitment process can reflect true competence and probity.

Don't wish anyone ill luck but if an apple does not fall far from a tree it means a tree indeed can make a forest of scandals shortly. Nuff said.

Corruption snares on their faces

He should not become greedy like one Nigeria greed sent away from high position he had at the global level.

Sharaaaaap, which other part

She only headed the panel.
MOTSEPE is crying now that he is surprised the Tunisian FA President was also on the panel.

The Baba planted them well.
The brother is using part of the looted funds to organize boxing events left , right and center. Meanwhile, the gigantic event center in Lekki is bringing in cash every Saturday.

If you dey join them say people wey embezzle money no go die better, stop wasting your time.

Amos Adamus son, He must be a proud Father
Maybe the CAF presidency that has eluded Nigeria will be remedied by this young man if he plays the politics right

That's Favours gained by supporting the moroccan robbery abi😃😃😃

Why Nigeria now when CAF is misbehaving corruptly!? They should allow the culprits to settle issues before bringing in another
