Behold; sports ministry's chosen ones for FA
We can inform you that, base information from Abuja, some ministerial strongmen are not hiding intentions to have their favoured man on board. Feelers reaching nigeriasports.com from Abuja have it that, of all the candidates who have signified their intentions so far, the sports ministry in support of two. And of the two men, we were also informed that, one is the proverbial "begotten son in whom the ministry's chieftain is well pleased." According to our sources, both Danladi Bako and Lumumba Adeh may have won the favour of the ministry as their "beloved ones" and could as well go to sleep. But even at that we werer also told, Lumumba stands a better chance of carrying the day on August 28, 2006. However, nigeriasports.com investigations show that, most Nigerian ball followers prefer Alhaji Sani Toro to every other candidate. This is because according to our polls, "the man had been there at the helms of affairs before for about seven years. During this period, the country enjoyed some appreciable amount of bliss in the game and its administration. "You can not beat experience and there is nothing like it. When Toro was the Secretary-General of the Nigeria Football Association, things were much better than what we are now seeing. The country nicked her first ever World Cup Finals ticket in 1994; we won the Nations Cup in Tunisia; we won our first ever gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics...a feat that saw us whipping Argentina and Brazil and beating the giant soccer nations to the gold medal. "Aside all these and many more, there was peace in our football administration and that accounted for our globally acclaimed great performances of the game," some of our respondents offered. But if feelers reaching us from Abuja are anything to go by, the Bauchi State former Sports Commissioner and now a member of the Federal House of Assembly is not one of those in the favoured books of the sports ministry's chieftain and as such, he could as well continue with his potical ambitions. 0
