“Let enduring peace return to football. Like I have always said on ‘Association Football’ I stand.”
Speaking further, “I want to wish the board a successful tenure termed with peace and progress in Nigerian Football. I would also like to wish other members of the Congress well in their future endeavours. On association football I stand.”
