Former Liberia FA boss and Confederation of African Football (CAF) executive committee member, Musa Bility has urged Nigerians to be proud of a football administrator like NFF president and CAF executive committee member, Amaju Pinnick in the wake of recent happenings in the top ranks of Africa’s supreme football governing body.
Bility described Pinnick as a very honest administrator who has been selfless in his service as a CAF top shot and has taken Nigeria to very great heights in football administration.
“The worst decision ever made by CAF president, Ahmad Ahmad was not to have kept Pinnick as the first vice president. Amaju is a symbol of unity and a rallying point whenever there was any issue amongst members, only God knows what will happen now but Nigerians should be proud of this man who has brought greatness to Nigeria,” he stated.

Bility equally shed more light on the recent happenings in CAF and the CAF-FIFA collaboration, stating that the apex football body in Africa requires a very thorough forensic audit and even with the body enmeshed in serious financial scandals, Pinnick’s name has never been mentioned at all.
“A very thorough forensic audit has to be conducted to cleanse CAF and I can boldly say that Pinnick is a man with integrity and has never been involved in any form of corruption, whether financial or material,” he wrapped up.
At the CAF 41st General Assembly held in Cairo last Thursday, Amaju Pinnick was not proposed for a return as CAF 1st vice president by CAF supremo, Ahmad. D.R Congo’s Constant Omari was upgraded to that position. Pinnick, however, remains a member of the Organizing Committee for FIFA competitions.

I see pinnick to be caf president
Oh i thank God for this man called Mr Amaju Pinnick,i think this is the is the first time an outsider has said something positive for a nigerian administrator,
Johnbull read whatever you wrote again my friend you need to go back to kindergarten. If you insult me despite your error then I will know you’re an hypocrite.
Which Johnbull? Is your comment for another article?
u should ve allow CAF to say such, anyway, who know what happen for his removal? pinnick ve court case here in Nigeria for corruption? He need to protect his name? He need to prove his innocent.
caution @ CJ,verify your info before reaching a conclusion.If an insider could could make such a credible commendation about him which one is your own?except u have something against him.
It shall be well with you for saying the truth. We knew the truth but most of us won’t say it.
If it is some where else, he should have bn impeached by now in including coach Rohr. But this is Nigeria, anything can happen. God bless Nigeria!!!
I do like Pinnick a lot
He has shown some great leadership quality as NFF Chieftain
My love will definitely increase if he could just go and get Herve Renard who just quit as coach of Morocco before Cameroon or South Africa or any other ambitious african nation beat us to it.
Herve with assistants from Sunday Oliseh, Kanu and Ike shorumu will take the super eagles to another level.
This is my candid personal opinion
God bless 9ja
Pinnick is a reflection of Nigeria political class, corruption, lies, and fraud written all over their faces. Impeached by CAF but still calling shots in Nigeria, and nobody seems to care.i won’t be surprise if Pinnick is pocketing some percent from Rohr’s salaries.
Where do you get these impeachment news which is very far from the truth. The CAF executive committee has a 2 year tenure and they can be re-elected except the CAF presidents declines to put you up for return. And this is exactly what happened. So the issue is simply that Mr Picnic has issues with his boss, Mr Ahmad. So nothing more than that and people are suggesting probably because he is out shining his boss. So nothing like impeachment at all. And he is still a member of CAF but no longer the first vice president. He is still a member of FIFA Organizing committee for competitions. So let’s stop spreading fake news.
Pls tell all this conspiracy theorists in this forum
What is this (A)bility saying? Image laundry. Let Amaju Pinnick explain to Nigerians how NFF spent $500k to attend CAF Congress when CAF usually sponsor all members to attend these meetings. Until then, he is not different from others.
who hin elp? mtchew. i dont know what fifa is waiting get this man impeached jare… pinick is the real nigerian politician… for ur info mr mility pinnick is a fraudster, embezler, nepotist. ask etebo and akpeyi.
I feel sorry for some Nigerians who harbor nothing but hate for those who strive to achieve excellence in their callings. These are Nigerians who wants Nigeria to fail so that they will come back to claim the idea of ” l told you so” .
l am aware of some Nigerians here who were advocating that Giwa and the disgraced sport Minister should be running the NFF today. Shame on you. Enemy of progress. Look at yourself before you condemn Pinnick. When did Nigeria had a NFF President who achieved so much that run the affairs of the Federation?
If you have nothing good to say about your Nation, do yourself a favor, keep quiet. Stop spreading HATE.
Have a good weekend everybody.
