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

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".
Kalu has not officially declared his interest said Blatter, stressing that it was in the interest of Africa to nominate him because of his passion for football. He finally said and I quot
“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.
