DARING OR CRAZY: Former Abia State Governor Enters Race For FIFA Presidency








This is almost feeling like a dream and a crazy one at that, but reports reaching us are pointing to the fact that it is actually true. Former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has signified his interest in running for president. Old gist, I can almost hear you say. Yes, except that the ‘presidency’ this time is not that of the most populated black nation on earth, but of the world football’s governing body, Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Yes you heard me right! OUK is set to vie for the presidency of FIFA.

According to the report, the Nigerian Pillar of Sports intends pop up as a surprise choice to replace outgoing President Sepp Blatter as FIFA president even though the source stated further that the business mogul’s mind is not still completely made up

“Nothing is official for now but I can confirm that CAF is already talking to the ex-governor to see if he would give the FIFA presidency a shot,” the source hinted.

Following the recent scandals that rocked the world football’s governing body, its current president, Mr. Sepp Blatter, decided to quit the office just days after winning elections for a fifth term in office. FIFA had also announced February 26, 2016 as the new date for the presidential elections. So, if OUK goes ahead with this ambition, he will be pitting his weight against more favorable candidates such as  Michel Platini, UEFA president and French football legend, Prince Ali, who lost to Sepp Blatter in the last elections and others. Sports analysts believe Mr. Platini is in poll position to clinch the crown after being urged by four of the six FIFA confederations to run for the office.

Although his exploits with Enyimba F.C. of Aba who he ensured broke the jinx to lift the CAF Champions League back-to-back during his time as governor is laudable, analysts believe that OUK does not have what it takes to earn the needed votes on the world football stage. Besides, he has been quiet as far as sports is concerned since his 2-term as governor elapsed.
