Quit Now-Greg Adebiyi Tells Maigari, Others

Former Nigerian FootballAssociation Technical committee chairman Birigadier General Greg Adebiyi has deplored the the  attitude” of chieftains of the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF to cling on to power, saying it’s the root of current crises rocking the federation. While he has also accused them of not being transparent in the administration of the game, he however rated them high on performance. Speaking in an interview in Lagos, Adebiyi, who was also served as vice chairman of the body said, “ I can’t understand what they ere fighting to achieve. It’s the same people who put Maigari in office that have asked them to go. So Why are they still fighting? I believe they should quietly go because the constant reference to FIFA statutes is a deceit when the same federation members who voted them into office, supported by stake-holders say they should go.” “ But the lack of rules and by laws on how to get into the FA itself is a problem. If these were put in place the constant recourse to FIFA Statutes would not arise.”
On account of performance, Adebiyi, lauded the Mauigari led board for achievements made in the past four years, referencing world Cup wins by the Golden Eaglets, African Nations Cup victories by the Super Eagles and World Cup qualifications by the levels of national teams he noted however that these are achievements already attained by previous FA boards. I am commending on achievements because that is how we in Nigeria rate performance- win, win win.
Speaking further, he said, “ I am not happy about how they have conducted themselves in the eye of fellow board members. There was an apparent lack of accountability. Emeka Omerua bowed out peacefully after winning the Nation Cup and qualifying the country for the World Cup, So did Col. Aminu. They never left office plunging the FA into crisis. So, Maigari and his group should simply be gentlemen
