Ex-international, Taribo West, says Nigeria football is sinking beyond recognition under the reign of Nigeria Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick.

The former Inter and AC Milan defender also expressed his disappointment with the way football is being handled in the country also stating that corruption has become the order of the day.

Taribo has also called on the executives of the NFF to quit the office as they are bereft of valuable ideas to move the country’s football in the right direction.

“Nigeria football is sinking, it’s almost dead,” Taribo told Sports Extra.

“Amaju and his executives have no more business running our football. I don’t have anything against Amaju. I believe he has been able to do the little he can, but right now, they don’t have it anymore even Shehu Dikko and Seyi Akinwunmi.

“Only the best hands should handle football affairs in Nigeria. If we have ex-internationals in that position and not doing well, they need to be taken out so others can show what they have,” Taribo said
