He said the popularity and recognition that himself and his team at ANFASSC are getting is not unconnected to the unique touch they added to the game in terms of branding, mileage and feasibility”.

“ANFASSC may be the most notable, prominent or vocal, it’s due to the touch we added to the game in terms of organization, our itinerary of events, Corporate Social Responsibilities and relationship with stakeholders, we understand what is applicable globally and we are not leaving any stone unturned, but we are quite aware that some people laid the foundation”.

He urged Nigerians, the NSC, the Nigeria Football Federation and other Sport Federations not to lose sleep over anyone coming with the intention of causing rancour or division, adding that the parties doing the job are on the same page.

He assured that the supporters clubs will remain United, particularly at this crucial time when they are needed by the Super Eagles in their quest to pick up the 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket.
