Abdalla Yusuf Mentioned as FKF Vice President in Humorous Citizen TV Post

A social media post joking about the leadership of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has attracted attention after Abdalla Yusuf’s name featured in a conversation involving Citizen TV Kenya.

The post suggested that Citizen TV had already appointed Yusuf as the FKF Vice President even before its programme had properly started. It was shared alongside a humorous remark by Jimoi Zitah, who appeared to poke fun at the ongoing leadership changes within Kenyan football.

The comment comes at a time when FKF is facing disagreements among members of its National Executive Committee (NEC), with questions being raised about the federation’s leadership.

Abdalla Yusuf is not a newcomer to FKF affairs. He is among the officials who have served in the federation’s executive structure and was co-opted into the NEC.

His name has also featured prominently in the disagreements involving FKF President Hussein Mohammed and Vice President McDonald Mariga.

On November 7, 2026, the FKF General Assembly announced the expulsion of seven NEC members following a Special General Meeting held in Meru. Those affected included Mariga, Robert Macharia, Bernard Lagat, Violet Kerubo Momanyi, Collins Kalee, Gabriel Mghendi and Daniel Shikanda.

The decision followed months of disagreements over the management of the federation and resolutions made by a group of NEC members in April 2026.

The meeting in Meru was also marked by security concerns, with police officers intervening after reports of disorder at the venue. The developments have attracted attention from football supporters who are following the dispute.

Yusuf, meanwhile, has been part of the group aligned with Hussein Mohammed in the leadership disagreement.

However, the suggestion that Citizen TV had appointed him as FKF Vice President was a joke, not an official appointment. FKF’s published leadership information identifies McDonald Mariga as Vice President, while Yusuf is listed as a co-opted NEC member.
