Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has alleged that officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) prevented him from greeting members of Nigeria’s Under-17 women’s national football team, the Flamingos. He recently had his say via a post on X while expressing concern over the growing culture of toxic politics in Nigeria.
Stressing that he was stopped from seeing the girls at the airport, Obi stated that he was informed by NFF officials that they would all lose their jobs if he greeted the team.
The former governor added that the incident was not the first time he had been prevented from interacting with members of a Nigerian national team.
His words, “I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had refused and had requested that I not approach them because, if I did, they would all lose their jobs.
It must be a Nigeria in which unity, mutual respect, and our shared humanity take precedence over political differences.”
