The impeached Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) president, Aminu Maigari, has officially resigned from his post, according to Premium Times.
According to an anonymous source, Mr. Maigari submitted his resignation letter to the NFF scribe, Musa Amadu, on Wednesday morning in Abuja.
“I can confirm to you that Aminu Maigari has submitted his resignation letter and the board has accepted it. I can also further tell you the Federation forwarded a copy of the letter to FIFA immediately for necessary actions,” the source said.
Spokesperson for the Nigeria Football Federation, Ademola Olajiire told reporters that it is true that Mr. Maigari sent in his resignation letter.
” I can only tell you that something like that happened today but I have not been officially briefed. I didn’t see the text of the letter,” Olajiire said.
Mr. Maigari had been controversially impeached by the Executive Board of the NFF, after which FIFA then queried the NFF on the procedure that led to his impeachment. It is not clear if the impeachment was reversed before Mr. Maigari sent in his resignation letter.
