Share this article

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to immediately pay all outstanding match bonuses and allowances owed to the Super Eagles. Obi criticized the continued neglect of players who have represented Nigeria with dedication, noting that failure to compensate them appropriately undermines national pride.

He lamented the country’s misplaced priorities, saying, “We always find money for lavish spending and political patronage, yet cannot pay those who patriotically raise our flag and serve with dedication.” Obi warned that such treatment sends the wrong message to Nigerian youth, suggesting that hard work and service go unrewarded.

Concluding his statement, he emphasized the need for reform, asserting, “Those who represent Nigeria deserve to be paid promptly and treated with respect. A new Nigeria is POssible.”
