Hayatou due in Nigeria to canvass for support for FIFA presidency
LAGOS
Confederation of African Football boss Issa Hayatou is due in Nigeria later this month to solicit for the country`s support towards becoming the next president of FIFA.
"Hayatou has promised to visit. We expect he will tell us what Nigeria and Africa stand to gain if he is elected FIFA president," spokesman for the sports ministry Victor Iroele told AFP Thurday.
"That would be when we will take a decision on whether to support him or not."
Top Nigerian official, Amos Adamu, has already thrown his weight behind Hayatou.
"The candidature of Hayatou will be beneficial to Nigeria as a country and Africa as a whole because we have seen what he is capable of," said Adamu, a member of the CAF executive committee. The top official said Nigeria will make certain demands from the CAF boss in exchange for the country`s support.
Adamu said Hayatou has done well to ensure five teams represent Africa at the World Cup and under his leadership the prize money for the African Champions League was improved.
The former boss of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) added that top African football officials will soon embark on a tour of the continent to canvass support for Hayatou.
