... Want Ikpeme return as Deputy Gen Sec
State FAs pick Barrister Green to head NFF Caretaker Committee ... Want Ikpeme return as Deputy Gen SecUpright Football Administrator, Barrister Chris Green has been chosen as the new man to drive the proposed reforms at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).The State FAs, which constitute the bulk of the NFF Congress have rejected all the names hitherto being thrown up by the media and decided to settle for the former board member and former Secretary of the defunct Sharks of Port Harcourt.According to http://www.sportsunlimited.ng
source, the choice of Green was informed by his middle cause posture and his uncompromising nature." We all know the kind of person Green is. He can't easily be manipulated because he's an experienced administrator."We trust the FIFA and CAF delegation will easily relate with him." Again, we didn't have other choice because if you pick Green or not it's wahala. However, his choice resonate well with our members than settle for those being pushed forward by the media," the source said.Members of the proposed Caretaker Committee comprises Christopher Green, as chairman; Hon. Abubakar Ladan; Mr. L. A. Haruna, SAN; Engineer Waheed Akanni; Rukayat Segilola Alaya; Coach Oko Victor Ndubuisi; and Professor Tor Iorapuu.
In a related development, the Congress has told the National Sports Commission that Acting NFF General Secretary, Barrister Emmanuel Ikpeme wouldn't function in that capacity once everything is settled rather he should revert to his former position as Deputy General Secretary.
The FAs grouse was Ikpeme's expressed dissolution of the Congress when he lacked such power to do so.
