Nigerian Minister of Sports and Youth Development , Solomon Dalung on Thursday that he was against Nigeria’s participation at the World Cup , because the global football competition organized by FIFA is corrupt .
According to Dalung , there is no need to waste money on a competition that Nigeria can never win .
The sports minister told the Hausa Service of the Voice of America Nigeria needs to concentrate more on the African Cup of Nations , the Commonwealth games and the Olympics, which it has chances of winning.
His words : “ The cup that we ( Nigeria) can win is the African Cup of Nations . There is nothing again that will take us to another man ’s balcony in the name of the World Cup . We already have the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics . For these , we can attend such meets .
“ But I am opposed to the World Cup . We don ’t agree to it . Conspiracy in the World Cup is too much , ” he said .
He continued, “ There is the issue of bribery and favouritism . There is also the issue of corruption before you are even given the hosting rights . We are here suffering from hunger and we don ’t have money for such things . That is why , even if we try many times , once it gets into the politics of the game , we can never win ” .
Dalung also reveals the conversation between African representatives and the current FiFA president before his election into office .
“ We had to tackle him ( FIFA President , Ginani Infantino) and we said , ‘you , Infantino , if you win this election , you have to give us a position. If not, we shall not agree. ’ And you
see , by the grace of God, he even picked an African as his Secretary- General. That means he has started taking honey and rubbing on our lips. That means that one day , we shall get to really lick the honey ” , Dalung said .
