FA Chairmen Blast Report On ‘Drilling’ Of Maigari

The chairmen of Football Associations of the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory have lambasted a report in a section of the media on Monday, which claimed that the forum ‘drilled’ NFF President, Aminu Maigari during its meeting in Abuja on Saturday, 23 February.

Chairman of the Zamfara State Football Association, Ibrahim Musa Gusau, who spoke on behalf of the forum, dismissed the report as pure fiction, having no semblance to what transpired at the meeting and completely in the imagination of the reporters.

 The Chairman,said at no time did the forum call on Aminu Maigari to explain anything, talk less of ‘drilling’ him, stressing that they reviewed the Super Eagles’ successful campaign at the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa and commended the NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, the Executive Committee, Management and the team for a wonderful job.

 Gusau stated that the forum also backed the NFF to win many more trophies for Nigeria from the several competitions taking place this year, given its seriousness and commitment to uplifting Nigeria football.
