Maigari does not know difference between company and committee

Maigari...is he confused again?

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has ordered Chairmen/Managers of the Nigeria Professional Football League to withdraw their threat to the League Management Committee (LMC) to convene an emergency Congress.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday, the NFF reiterated that the LMC was conceived, constituted and inaugurated by the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation – the nation’s football governing body – and therefore, legitimate.

“The LMC is duly recognised by the NFF and has been keeping to the letter and spirit of its terms of reference, since inauguration. The NFF views any threat to the LMC as an affront, not only to the Football Federation but to Nigeria football,” the statement read.

The statement added: “Any person(s) purporting to act on behalf of club(s) in the Nigeria Professional Football League to, therefore, undermine the authority and legitimacy of the LMC shall be visited with very severe sanctions.”

The NFF called on the Chairmen/Managers concerned to follow due and acceptable process by channelling their grievances to the Glass House, while observing that nothing should be prompted to disrupt the 2012/2013 League season that has been running excellently, with good organization and absence of violence and brigandage.

The Confusion: No wonder the NFF President, Aminu Maigari, who does not know how many clubs play in the Nigerian league (when asked in a national television programme when contesting) signed the incorporation papers of the League Management Company as NFA.

In the statement of the NFF, of which they are supposed to be Golden shareholders, they do not know that what they signed to be incorporated is a company not a committee! To them, they were referring to a committee and not a company. Club owners/managers are in tango with the company not the committee. So, where lies the direction of this statement?
