Former Super Eagles’ captain, Chief Olusegun Patrick Odegbami, has the described his appointment into the technical committee of the Aminu Maigari-led Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, as the joke of the year.
“I am not aware of any appointment; it must be a joke because nobody even contacted me in the first place,†said Odegbami, a member of the Presidential Task Force on South Africa 2010 World Cup.
Odegbami, who withdrew from contesting for the presidency of the federation in the last election, said early today that the appointment cannot be true, adding that a  case against the board is still pending at the Court of Approbation for Sports, CAS. Odegbami said he has not been informed by the board on the appointment.
