Former Minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode has denied reports alleging that he is trying to vie for the chairmanship of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reports that the All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain, via X on Thursday, described such reports as fake, mischievous and deeply insulting.
The 64-year-old further urged the public to disregard the reports as he has no interest in football or leading the NFA.
The former minister asserted that he is not a footballer and has no interest in the NFA chairman’s identity.
He said, “It has been brought to my attention that fake qoutes are being attributed to me by various unknown blogs claiming that I have an interest in being Chairman of the NFA and that I have now decided to step down from the race to support someone else.
“This is all fake news. I know nothing about the NFA, I have no interest in the NFA or who leads it, I have no interest in football and thankfully I have not been approached or nominated for such a position by anyone and if I had I would have respectfully declined.
“I am not a footballer and I could not care less who the NFA Chairman is or will be.
“The whole thing is deeply insulting and I urge the 419 and criminal blogs that are attributing these qoutes to me and coming up with such fake stories to desist from doing so and leave me out of their mess.
“I also urge members of the public to ignore their rubbish. It is good old fashioned fake news and as it is with all fake news they have a hidden agenda.
“Any qoute or story that does not emanate from my website (femifanikayode.org), my verified X handle (@realffk) or my verified Facebook and Instagram pages is not from me.
“Anything outside of these platforms are FAKE and I urge members of the public to read such reports with caution.”
