He said the decision to back Abba Yola aspiration for NFF presidency was not merely because he is an indigene of Kano, but that Nigeria deserves best and someone who understands international politics of the round leather game.

“We require someone who will motivate, coordinate, lead and understand international politics in the football sector because it’s a global issue. No matter how much you do well as a country, you need to know the intricacies of the politics of the profession all over the world and I am sure, you’re equal to the task,” Ganduje declared.

“I think you’ve been in the climate for a long time and you’ve acclimatised yourself and therefore you’re a member of the family of the sporting activities in Nigeria. You’ve the experience, capacity, capability and the attributes of a sportsman and sports administrator for that matter.

“And this is not new to the people of Kano, I could recall Ibrahim Galadima, who is still very much around, if I can say you are his tutelage, I think I’m right, so knowing him, what he did and his antecedents, one can conclude that you can do the job.”

“So, we’ll do all that it takes to pray, campaign for you and I believe you’re the best candidate and Nigeria at this trying moment requests the best candidate, considering our recent performance in the international scene.”
