Issa hayatou ousted as caf president after 29 years
I think you may be referring to Issa Hayatou, a Cameroonian football administrator who was the President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for 29 years, from 1988 to 2017. He was indeed ousted from his position in 2017, after a vote by the CAF Executive Committee.
Hayatou had been the longest-serving president of CAF, and his tenure was marked by controversy and criticism. He was accused of corruption and nepotism, and his leadership style was seen as autocratic and unaccountable.
In 2017, Hayatou was challenged by Ahmad Ahmad, a Malagasy football administrator, who ran a campaign promising to reform CAF and increase transparency and accountability. Ahmad won the election, and Hayatou was ousted from his position.
It's worth noting that Hayatou's ousting was not without controversy. He disputed the results of the election, and there were allegations of irregularities and vote-buying. However, the CAF Executive Committee ultimately confirmed Ahmad's victory, and Hayatou's 29-year tenure as CAF President came to an end.
