U-17 FIFA World Cup: Buhari to Redeem 30-year-old Pledge to Eaglets

November 10, 2015

ABUJA – Apparently basking in the euphoria of the victory of the Golden Eaglets at the just concluded Under 17 FIFA World Cup in Chile, President Mohammadu Buhari has nostalgically remembered the unfulfilled promises made to the 1985 team, saying he would redeem them.

It will be recalled that Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets first won the Under-17 World Cup in 1985, when the president was the country’s Military Head of State.

He had at a reception in honor of the victorious players at Dodan Barracks, Lagos, promised to sponsor them on a trip to watch the 1986 World Cup which took place in Mexico, also directed the State Governments to donate houses, give scholarships and name streets after the players.

But while the federal government fulfilled its counter-part promise, the State repudiated the directive.

In a statement released by Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, President Buhari frowned at the non compliance of his directive.

“It is a pity that those promises were never fulfilled. It is unfortunate that our players, who did us proud on the world stage went unrewarded for their efforts, despite a presidential directive to the state administrators that they be honored in their home states.”

The statement noted that shortly after the commitment was given, the Military administration under General Muhammadu Buhari was replaced and that despite repeated representations made to succeeding governments by the players and their officials,the promises made were left unfulfilled.

Apologizing, the president pledged to do his best to fulfill the promise.

“I apologize for whatever embarrassment and disillusionment in your country these raised and then dashed hopes may have caused you. My government will do all within its power to remedy the situation”, the statement quoted president Buhari as saying.

one would have thought the hate-led lies and propaganda against Buhari would have lessened considerably after he became President yet the opposite appears to be the case. It shows you the extent to which some wish to hold on to the primordial and totally baseless hatred of others.

Buhari, to the disgrace of his mindless haters, has been doing the total opposite of the negatives they tell us he is about. For example, they claim Buhari is a rabid and "pro-North" tribalist. Yet, with his Ministerial appointments, Buhari has more or less put the success or failure of his Government in the hands of Southerners by giving them the most critical and most important portfolios by far. I really am tired off the 'enemy within' behaviour of some folks. They just don't know when to gracefully give the hateful noise a rest.

Haba i find this news hard to believe. 20k?? Kaiiiiii

i dont know why u people find anything under this administration hard to beleive

Stupidity everywhere, the last squad to win the competition kindly tell me how much they were promised and how much they got paid, (2) they're under 17!!!!!!!

Gbawe:
Indeed. Disgusting really. Even worse is that these people who hate Buhari rabidly, when he may now turn out to be the saviour of Nigeria, are the most virulently zealous supporters of GEJ who was on course to destroy Nigeria totally !!! As if Nigeria does not have enough problems, we must battle enemies within also. Tragic.

They all sleep and face the same direction.

The fact that he is even linking it to tribalism (because they are from the east) shows that he is nothing but a troll. When you counter their claims, insult is the next thing you'll get more like pouring water inside a basket.

This victim mentality and persecution complex issue has just graduated to become a very serious mental problem... How such a large number of people from a single race can just completely lose it simultaneously completely beats my imagination.
