OBI ALLEGES NFF OFFICIALS BLOCKED HIM FROM GREETING VICTORIOUS FLAMINGOS AT ABUJA AIRPORT
Peter Obi has alleged that Nigeria Football Federation officials prevented him from greeting the victorious Flamingos at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday, claiming he was told officials feared losing their jobs if they allowed him to approach the team. The NFF had not publicly responded to the allegation at the time of the latest reports, while a presidential aide said security and administrative protocol could explain the restriction. The Flamingos returned home after defeating Japan 2–1 to win the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, becoming the first African team to lift the trophy.
