Joseph Omoniyi
Nigerian Football Federation, NFF President, Amaju Pinnick has been ‘axed’ as the CAF 1st Vice-president.
This is coming after the confederation committee met on Thursday.
Pinnick himself was elevated to the position after the corruption case brought against former Ghana FA President and CAF 1st VP, Kwesi Nyantakyi.
Reports say, CAFās executive committee on Wednesday have agreed to allow FIFA Secretary General take charge of the administration of CAF for a period of 6 Months.
āHowever, It comes despite some Executive Committee members voicing their opposition to Samoura, who will retain her FIFA role, being parachuted in to intervene in the day-to-day running of the CAF amid its governance crisis,ā Liam Morgan [insidethegames.biz] wrote.
Samoura will be in charge for an initial six-month period due to begin in August, with her team responsible for carrying out a āfull forensic auditā of CAF, whose President Ahmad has been embroiled in allegations of wrongdoing and was arrested over corruption charges in Paris last month.
