“Continuity Will Strengthen Nigerian Football” — Majekodunmi Backs Gusau’s Second Term Bid
Chairman of the Ogun State Football Association and Executive Board Member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ganiyu Majekodunmi, has declared his total support for the second term bid of the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, describing his administration as one that has restored credibility, stability, and direction to Nigerian football.
In a statement made available to journalists, Majekodunmi said Gusau’s leadership has brought renewed confidence to the football ecosystem through purposeful administration, improved stakeholder engagement, and visible progress across different levels of the game.
“Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau has shown uncommon dedication to the growth of football in Nigeria. His leadership style reflects sincerity, transparency, and a genuine passion for developing the game from the grassroots to the national level,” Majekodunmi stated.
The Ogun FA Chairman noted that under Gusau’s stewardship, Nigerian football has continued to witness improved organization, stronger collaboration among stakeholders, and increased attention to youth and grassroots football development.
According to him, continuity remains vital at this stage of Nigerian football development, stressing that the ongoing reforms and developmental initiatives initiated by the current NFF leadership deserve the opportunity to mature and produce long-term results.
“This is not the time to interrupt progress. Stability and continuity are critical for the future of our football. The foundations being laid today will strengthen the game for the next generation, and that is why I believe Alhaji Gusau deserves another term to continue his good work,” he added.
Majekodunmi also commended the NFF President for creating an atmosphere of unity within the football family and for consistently supporting programmes aimed at empowering young talents across the country.
He further called on football stakeholders nationwide to rally behind Gusau’s re-election bid in the interest of sustaining growth, deepening reforms, and positioning Nigerian football for greater achievements on the continental and global stage.
“Nigerian football needs leadership with vision, patience, and capacity. Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau has demonstrated these qualities, and I strongly believe the future of our football will be brighter with continuity under his leadership,” Majekodunmi concluded.
The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed displeasure over a fresh kidnapping incident in the state.
The party questioned Governor Seyi Makinde over the recent abduction of three staff members of the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN).
DAILY POST gathered that the three staff members were kidnapped last Friday within the premises of the institute.
In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Sadare, the APC questioned the governor over the abduction.
Sadare said the governor should tell the people of the state what his administration was doing to rescue the victims.
He also urged Makinde to explain the measures being taken to prevent a recurrence.
Sadare said, “Also, the public wanted to know the circumstances surrounding the fresh abduction of the three staff of the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) and efforts being put in place to rescue them, as well as ensuring that surging insecurity is permanently addressed in the state.”
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said he will lead President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign in the FCT and Rivers State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Wike disclosed this on Monday at a stakeholders’ meeting of the Rainbow Coalition in Abuja, where he announced plans for a joint mobilisation involving members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said political differences would not stop stakeholders from joining forces to deliver Tinubu’s re-election, adding that the coalition had also agreed to back APC candidates for National Assembly seats in the FCT.
The meeting was attended by APC and PDP stakeholders, including party chairmen, serving and former senators, National Assembly candidates and leaders from the FCT’s six area councils.
PDP candidates contesting National Assembly seats also declared support for their APC counterparts, in what appears to be a cross-party alliance ahead of the polls.
Wike charged participants to place the coalition’s common goal above party loyalty.
“For the presidency, all of us have agreed that it is Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I am going to coordinate the FCT and Rivers State. So you can imagine how important it is.
“I am in charge of the FCT election. I am the commander of field operations as far as the FCT election is concerned.
“I want to let all of you know that we are going to work together. Nobody should say, ‘I am PDP’ or ‘I am APC.’ For the purpose of this election, we are together,” he said.
