BREAKING!!! Amaju Pinnick New VP of CAF!!!

[EagleEye]

The Confederation of African Football, CAF, on Thursday appointed Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, President Amaju Pinnick as the new Vice President of the body to replace Ghanaian Football Federation President Kwesi Nyantaki who stepped down after corruption allegations last month.

This comes despite controversy surrounding a ruling by Federal High Court sitting in Jos, the Plateau State capital, ordering the takeover of the football body by Ambassador Giwa who had earlier been banned from all football related matters by both FIFA and CAF.

Nigerian judge will rule that move as unconstitutional lol.

Like I was telling my friend the other day. FIFA was very wise to establish the rules that govern the game. We all saw what Sheriff did to the PDP. Using corrupt judges to destabilize the PDP. FIFA is spot on to only recognize their own internal resolution processes and CAS.

Perhaps he should become president, so that Rohr may be let go.

Fifa always flexing their muscles for small African teams but when FBI got involved they were all quiet

It's the same in all international organizations,
Africans do not have muscle anywhere.
As far as we continue to beg for the basics of life, we will not be taken serious

Rumor has it that the current president of CAF has desire to be his countries president. That crook Nyantakyi was hoping to remain as the GFA president so he can be groomed for the post. The Anas expose was a blow to him.

Pinnick has an opportunity if Ahmad's ambitions are true

Thus, what is the benefit to Nigeria if Pinnick becomes the President of CAF?

Congrats to Pinnick.

Yet another stumbling block for the people trying to unseat him.

Congratulations to Mr Pinick. This is a welcome development.

Nyantakyi did not step down he was banned from all footballers related activities. The guy had no intentions to step down. He was still holding on to hope that fifa would step in and squash everything. Even by his own standards this shamelessness was beyond disgusting. As we we speak he is still clutching straws, making all sorts of baseless allegations against Anas..saying things like “Anas tricked me”. He’s even reported to have sued the investigative journalist for defamation. The guy is beyond pathetic and I’m glad Ghanaians know this and are not buying into his quest for sympathy

Congratulations Amaju.
Well deserved.
Our football is on the rise.
Haters can now rest.

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Will he remain with Nff?

[ohenhen1]

Will he remain with Nff?

No, it is unconstitutional.

Will he fire Rohr?

[fajex]

Congratulations to Amaju and team
Apart from the organization and stability we saw at the back end during preps for this World Cup, I also seemed to enjoy the way he has been able to push a few experienced Nigerians into deserving positions in CAF. Hope this bodes well and aids the development of our football in country.
Kudos

[ANC]

Will he remain with Nff?

No, it is unconstitutional.

Now Rohr may go

[Damunk]

Will he remain with Nff?

No, it is unconstitutional.

No, seriously.

[fabio]

Will he remain with Nff?

No, it is unconstitutional.

No, seriously.

CAF Statutes refers only to President not Vice President. Article 22.5

Not sure the appointment is legal, though...

According to CAF Statute... 22.13

13. Should there be a vacancy on CAF Executive Committee of, the General Assembly shall elect a replacement for the remainder of the term.
