Nigerian preacher Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, says the incumbent president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Ibrahim Musa Gusua deserves to be re elected as president, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
His statement is coming as the build up to the NFF election is heating up with Gusau seeking for re election despite failing the Super Eagles failing to qualify for the World Cup.
The U17 have also failed to make it to back to back tournament in his first two years in charge. A huge setback for Nigeria who have dominated the tournament since its inception in 1985.
Despite the obvious failure, Ayodele who is an avid supporter of Gusau said Gusau is still the best for the job, and will lead Nigeria to a world cup triumph, although he was clear that it won’t be the world cup rather one of the cadets tournament.
“NFF election everybody should support Gusau. He is the best man and he is the one who will make NFF to succeed because Nigeria is going to win a world cup before his tenure ends. Not the global world cup maybe the U17, the U21 but not senior world cup”, he said.
