In a line of executive procedure, FIFA officially ended some of the career directors at the world's Football Federation - Jack Warner, Walter De Gregorio, and grudgingly Joseph S. Blatter.
The enforced retirement is set in order of 2016 with Issa Hayatou as the acting chairman of FIFA.
It is not the first time or perhaps the last time that such form of transition in any industry has taken place, but the new man is not exactly new or his system of administration of process largely unknown.
The last office of Issa Hayatou is the CAF president, preceding his CAF Chairmanship is head of Cameron Football Association.
The history of Issa Hayatou is football - from playing field to referee's conduct, to players code of conduct and regulation.
He has been involved in strategic development of football in Africa and in different parts of the world and a lasting tract record in the richest and most traditional African football tournaments for men and women called the African Championship.
It may be too early to prep a small pamphlet reflecting African football against the global football federation.
Issa Hayatou as a living example of executive member of FIFA is bound to be accessed in one form or another in the course of FIFA regulatory foundation and tradition.
For a man who ruled African football for over 35 years leading to the acting Chairmanship, we can place some blames on the poor development of African football on his chairmanship.
Whereas Youths of Africa are among the toast of modern football, the continent did not produce a single country to breach the walls of quarter finals for any FIFA World Cup.
Saving for George A. Weah, there is hardly any African to have any thing of value at the World Cup let alone winning the World Best Player.
If there are other poor light which the condition of his appointment does not warrant, it will be the lack luster of African Player of the Year. A new appointment may re-generate some of the lost flames - but that happens is better than images from camera.
