He added; “Niger State Government under the Leadership of Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu graciously paid for his treatment to a certain point and then stopped.The NFF just gave him 500k and abandoned him to his fate. The man who suspended signing millions of euros contract with Atheletico Madrid to come and play for his country has been neglected by the sporting authorities of his country.The MON National honours award holder scored a major goal in the Korea 2007 World Cup victory.”
He stated further; “Our Government demands for patriotism from our Sportsmen and Women and abandon them in their moments of need. This new Government and the new leadership of the @thenff should come to his aid and others in similar situations”
