Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, has denied reports claiming he is interested in the chairmanship of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
In a statement on his X page on Thursday, Fani-Kayode described the allegations as “fake news”, noting that he has no interest in football.
“It has been brought to my attention that fake quotes are being attributed to me by various unknown blogs claiming that I have an interest in being chairman of the NFF and that I have now decided to step down from the race to support someone else,” he wrote.
“This is all fake news. I know nothing about the NFF, I have no interest in the NFF 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 NFF Chairman is or will be.”
He warned the public to disregard any quotes or stories not originating from his official website (femifanikayode.org), verified X handle (@realffk), or verified Facebook and Instagram pages.
“Any quote 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,” he added.
