The NFF president has been directed to support the Cameroonian despite his intention to vote for Madagascar's Ahmad In a new twist ahead of the Caf elections that will take place on Thursday, March 16, in Addis Ababa, the Nigerian government has ordered its delegation to vote for incumbent Issa Hayatou despite its previous choice of challenger Ahmad of Madagascar. According to an AFP report, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo asked NFF chief Amaju Pinnick to support the Cameroonian who is seeking to extend his 29-year reign at the top of African football for diplomatic reasons. Cameroon’s government had backed the Nigerian effort to quash the terrorist group Boko Haram that created an enclave in the border area of both countries and Chad. A multinational force was needed to dislodge the group that held more than two hundred school girls captive. Pinnick, who is also contesting for a place on the Caf Executive Committee, has been in the forefront of a campaign to stop Hayatou from continuing in office, with Ahmad the beneficiary. culled from www.goal.com |

Keneking:lol. I don't think Cameroon are as stupid as Nigeria . And they have France too. Bakassi is gone with the wind. Btw, what is the basis for one naijeria when Nigeria can't even defend its own territory.? Ofcourse, some idiotts would still expect those poor border communities still in Nigeria to yap one naijeria like it means anything. I see Nigerians compares themselves to ''One china'' like they actually know what it means. China defends her territory in the face of a superior superpower, Nigeria loses hers in the face of a mere France. Even Algeria can stand up to France and still retain her dignity. Shameful country. |
