Former Super Eagles striker Obafemi Martins has thrown his weight behind Seyi Tinubu, saying the president’s son could help bring the needed changes to Nigerian football if given the opportunity to lead the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Speaking about the need for a young person who understands the game and the system, Martins said Seyi Tinubu has the qualities needed to make a difference.
“He’s young and he understands what Nigerian people want. I think he can change that. He can change that. He can change that.”
When asked whether Seyi was already doing enough, Martins acknowledged that he is not the president but said he has been making efforts.
“I mean, he’s not the President, but still he’s making an effort.”
Martins’ comments come amid conversations about the need for fresh leadership and a better understanding of the Nigerian football system.
