Many football enthusiasts have been debating about who would become
the next president ever since embattled FIFA president, Sepp Blatter
was suspended for fraud and money laundering.
Sepp Blatter is now weighing in on the debate, stating that former
Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, would be a great fit for the
position.
According to Vanguard, he reportedly stated the following during a Swiss radio station talk show in Zurich:
"The position of the FIFA president is too important to be left
to just anybody. I have heard of some candidates who want to take over
from me. But I find the Businessman from Nigeria Kalu very qualified and
interesting because he is not only a businessman, but a politician with
lots of contacts and corporate experience. He can bring his great
experiences to bear in the running of world football.
"He is passionate about the game. I remember how he sponsored
one of Nigerian clubs to win the CAF championship twice. He is a man
that can take world football to the next level…If Africa hopes to win
the support of other federations, then they must queue behind the
Nigerian business man. Football has developed beyond just anybody taking
over.
"I sacked Jerome Champgne in 2010 so how can he come back to
lead an Association he tried to destroy. You need a man who can command
respect and win friends for football. With Kalu Africa stands a better
chance," he concluded.
