President-General of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club, Dr. Rafiu
Olalere Oladipo has declared that the present NFF administration
headed by Alhaji Aminu Maigari deserves tremendous praise and
commendation for the successes that have been recorded by the National
Teams in the past few years.
Speaking at the NFF Secretariat, Abuja on Wednesday, when he led a
delegation of his Club's executive council and some members to pay
homage to the nation's football-governing body, Oladipo contended that
Maigari's humility, team spirit, sobriety, administrative acumen and
ever-ready listening ear have played a huge role in the
accomplishments.
"As far as those of us in the Supporters Club are concerned, the
recent successes of our National Teams would not have been possible
without your excellent leadership qualities and listening ear. You are
also a very lucky man. The Almighty God, not man, has put you on this
seat.
"Every Nigerian football fan and Nigerians of goodwill everywhere will
continue to be grateful to you for returning Nigeria football to
strong reckoning in the international sphere," said Oladipo, who has
led one of the world's most colourful, disciplined and organised
Supporters Clubs in the past 24 years.
The visit came only hours after the Supporters Club decorated
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR as Grand Patron, at a gorgeous
ceremony inside the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa.
Responding, Maigari commended the efforts of the Nigeria Football
Supporters Club, acknowledged as a strong motivational force by
several Nigerian legends, in being the extra man for Nigeria National
Teams in every match, praising their commitment, personal sacrifice
and investment in the Nigeria game over the decades.
Also at the meeting were Alhaji Yusuf Ahmed Fresh and Alhaji Ahmad
Muazu Kawu (NFF Executive Committee members), Barrister Musa Amadu
(General Secretary), Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme (Director of Technical), Dr. XXX.
