APFON Hails NFF On Odegbami

The Association of Professional Footballers of Nigeria
(APFON) has applauded the Nigeria Football Federation
(NFF) for endorsing Segun Odegbami as a candidate from
Nigeria for the post of FIFA president.


This is contained in a statement signed by APFON Secretary,
Austin Popo, on Saturday, where he was quoted as saying
that the body was delighted with the development.


The statement said APFON was expecting the NFF
leadership to take this right decision, given the visionary
qualities of its board members.
To us as players, the NFF has again scored a major feat in its
untiring quest to reposition Nigerian football by affirming
the position of the players’ union.


Now is the time for Nigerians to rally round our nominee,
Segun Odegbami, and mobilise support for the big stage.
God can do anything for anything to happen.



Nobody gave David any chance against Goliath. Once
again, congratulations to Big Segun, APFON, NFF and
Nigeria,’’ the statement said.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that an
extraordinary elective FIFA congress would hold on Feb.26,
2016 in Zurich, Switzerland, to elect a new president after
Sepp Blatter, its president, would have stepped down.

Blatter, currently serving a 90-day suspension, had been
under a series of allegations bordering on corruption leveled
against him by FIFA.
