Adamu mobilises support for Kalu’s FIFA presidential bid

Support has continued to pour in for the FIFA presidential
 bid of former Abia state Governor, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu.

Speaking yesterday, former FIFA and Caf executive committee member,
 Dr Amos Adamu said “Dr Orji Uzor Kalu is eminently qualified to lead
world’s football governing body FIFA. I have absolute confidence and
 believe that he would do well as  head  of FIFA. Once  the  position  is
 vacant Orji Kalu should
 run  for  the top  post.

A man  that led Enyimba  to  win  the CAF Champion’s league
twice  cannot be ignored   in  world  football. A man who was
 a governor twice and a  successful  business man must  be supported to
run  the  affairs  of FIFA.  If we sell his candidacy well who says  he canot win?

Dr Adamu affirmed “ We are  trying  to  convince him  to  run  so 
that  he can  bring  his wealth of  experience to  bear  on  the game
 of  football. Every confederations  have  their  needs, so we 
should  ensure that  he gets  the  mandate of  the other bodies so  that
 those  needs  can  be  met.

We should ensure  that  players  have  a  place  in his  administration 
because he  has  shown enough capacity  for  their  welfare.”

Adamu said  he  was  consulting  widely  to  ensuring  that Kalu 
gets  the mandate. “Im using  my  wide  contacts to  sell his 
candidacy to  the  public and  some  people  who  May  not  know  him.

Nigeria is a giant  in  football  compared  to  countries  like Jordan.
Prince Ali should go  and develop football in his  country. If we  are
talking  of a people with football pedigree  we  are  over  qualified.

We  are  consulting  and  getting  very  positive  responses. It will be
 a pride of Africa if Orji Uzor  Kalu  wins  the  bid.  Its  time   for  Africa 
to  rule FIFA”Adamu  concluded. Notable ex  players  like John Fashanu 
and Peterside Idah have  been  at  the  forefront of the Kalu  for  FIFA presidency bid
