Orji Uzor Kalu, Senate Chief Whip, has asked the Federal Government to fire the administration of the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF.
The present NFF management, according to Kalu, should be fired and replaced with a more tactical and better one for failing to provide Nigeria with the desired results.
He made the call in reacting to the Super Eagles 1-1 draw with the black Stars of Ghana.
The Black Stars of Ghana qualified for the 2022 World cup in Qatar after the draw in Abuja.
The first leg in Ghana had ended goalless.
Reacting, Kalu in a Facebook post wrote: “What a sad night for all soccer lovers! It is high time the entire Management of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is overhauled.
“In the past five years, we have exercised patience with incompetence that should ordinarily be the best, not just in Africa, but the world.
“The reality is that football is the same with science courses like Medicine and Engineering where you can’t cut corners, otherwise, you produce quack and incompetent people.
“The Federal Government and Nigerians have supported the NFF beyond measures and since they can’t give us the needed result, they should be sacked for a better and more tactical management.”
