CAF Drops Pinnick For Bility As 1st V/President

Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick has been removed as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) first vice president.
The decision was taken during the body’s Executive Committee meeting in Cairo on Thursday and Liberia's Musa Bility takes over the position.
Pinnick, who double as the Chairman of the Organising Committee of Africa Cup of Nations, was elevated to the position after the corruption case brought against former Ghana FA President and CAF 1st VP, Kwesi Nyantakyi.
CAF’s executive committee on Wednesday have agreed to allow FIFA Secretary General take charge of the administration of CAF for a period of 6 Months.
“However, It comes despite some Executive Committee members voicing their opposition to Samoura, who will retain her FIFA role, being parachuted in to intervene in the day-to-day running of the CAF amid its governance crisis,” Liam Morgan [insidethegames.biz] wrote.
Samoura will be in charge for an initial six-month period due to begin in August, with her team responsible for carrying out a “full forensic audit” of CAF, whose President Ahmad has been embroiled in allegations of wrongdoing and was arrested over corruption charges in Paris last month.
