By KATE OBODO
Following the chains of bad results by the nation\u2019s football teams in recent times, former Bayelsa United Football Club chairman, Felix Beke has called on the Federal Government to sack the Board of the Nigeria Football Federation led by Aminu Maigari.<\/p>\n

Beke, who was speaking against the backdrop of the recent flop of the national U-23 team at the Olympic qualifiers in Morocco said that the NFF has shown that it doesn\u2019t have the solution to the problems facing the country\u2019s football.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Saturday Vanguard Sports, Beke said: \u201cIt is high time the NFF faced the same fate that befell the coaches who failed to deliver. With the look of things, they have proved that they are not capable of administering football in this country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember that the tenure of the NDDC was supposed to be four years but they were sacked and another Board inaugurated. When President Jonathan ordered that we stay out of FIFA competitions for two years, the former NFF instigated FIFA against the country. But today, the president has been vindicated. The man saw this coming, that was why he tried to suspend the country from participating in international competitions for two years, yet we thought he didn\u2019t mean well for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuing, he said, \u201cthe best that can happen is for the NFF to be sacked. Let FIFA come again and ban us for five years, we will be ready for the consequences. It is high time we go back to our school sports days if really we want to revamp our football. We have failed from all angles, that means the NFF doesn\u2019t have any answer to our football problem anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the U-23 team\u2019s failure should not be heaped on the absence of foreign-based \u201cbecause Nigeria has millions of talented youths who could be polished to stardom, so that\u2019s no excuse. If the NDDC was sacked without completing their tenure, NFF should go the same way,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

It could be recalled that President Jonathan last year suspended the country\u2019s football teams from participating in FIFA competitions for two years but later lifted the suspension after a threat from FIFA .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
