The Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, has come under fire for enabling President Muhammadu Buhari to deal with the Super Eagles.

Buhari had dealt with the Super Eagles of Nigeria by means of a video conference, ahead of their match against the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia.

The Super Eagles will today tackle Tunisia in a knockout stage match at 8pm in the continuous African Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Cameroon.

The President spoke with Coach Augustine Eguavoen, Captain Ahmed Musa, Amaju Pinnick, NFF President, and others

Pointing out 2 of the gamers, Kelechi Iheanacho and Moses Simon, President Buhari advised the Super Eagles to continue making Nigerians delighted, not only by winning the second round match, however to eventually raise the trophy.

Responding, previous presidential assistant, Reno Omokri, questioned why NFF allowed Buhari speak with the Super Eagles before a crucial match.

The socio-political activist recounted how Buhari talked with Anthony Joshua and Eagles in the last AFCON, and they all lost their matches.

In a tweet, Omokri wrote: “Oh oh! Why did NFF enable Buhari speak to the Super Eagles players now! What is incorrect with NFF?

“Have the forgotten what happened after he spoke to Anthony Joshua? Or Eagles in the last AFCON? Please we want to win. This nonsense needs to not duplicate itself!”
