Following the nuisances and negative trollings that preceeded the just concluded elections into the board of Nigeria Football Federation, the country’s foremost players’ union, the Professional Footballers Association of Nigeria (PFAN), have come out with guns blazing from all corners.
Reacting to the several negative remarks concerning the profiles and resumes of its members, PFAN, in what has been termed a show of force, have started reeling impressive brief profiles of members in order to completely banish the misplaced insinuations making the rounds that ex-footballers are uneducated, ill-equipped and lack the class and intelligence to be saddled with public service responsibilities.
Reeling out the impressive CVs, Emmanuel Babayaro, General Secretary of PFAN, remarked that PFAN is more than equipped for any responsibility bestowed upon it.
“It’s amazing to see that PFAN membership boasts of great ex-footballers like Segun Odegbami, Dominic Iorfa, Dr. Felix Owolabi, Dr. Muhammed Ogidi, Daniel Amokachi, Edema Fuludu, amongst other distinguished ex-footballers. This is jus a tip of the iceberg.
The softly spoken scribe added, “In coming days, we shall be reeling out more top notch and incredibly gifted and distinguished members. PFAN is more than equipped. Match us, if you can.”
