Arguing that football is like other fields of study where quacks and cutting corners are not allowed, he called on the President Buhari-led administration to sack the organisation and replace it with "a more tactical management."
His words:
"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 as 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 better and more tactical management."

Meanwhile, the federal government was making everything possible to ensure the Super Eagles got the needed support and encouragement ahead of the return-leg match with the Black Stars of Ghana at Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, on Tuesday, March 29.
To this end, the President Buhari-led government on Monday, March 28, directed all ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) to close by 1pm on Tuesday.
The directive was contained in a circular released by Ngozi Onwudiwe, the service welfare officer.
