According to punch, the Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Enoh stated that he can no longer remain silent about the issues within the NFF, despite the fear of a FIFA ban. Nigerians deserve good results and proper management of our football to boost their happiness. The recent World Cup qualifier outcomes against South Africa and Benin Republic have been disappointing to the sports ministry, the federal government, and the public. However, we still have a chance to qualify if we take the right actions in the remaining six matches.
I cannot continue to keep quiet any longer over the affairs of the NFF because of fear of FIFA ban. I will continue to walk the fine line that protects the interest and emotions of Nigerians who expect nothing but good results and that our football be run properly, so that results posted by our teams add to their happiness and liveliness.
The outcomes of the World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic were not acceptable to the sports ministry, the federal government as well as Nigerians. We can still qualify if everything is done right in the remaining six matches in the qualifiers.
