"I have known Amadu for almost 25 years now and can attest to the fact that he is indeed a man of integrity.

"I am not talking about the politics of the elections in a month's time, but I have come here to listen and see things for myself.

"We've come a long way and I think my presence here today speaks volumes and signifies an intent of purpose and change.

"I think we need change and we cannot shy away from that fact. NFF's Technical Committee Chairman (Ahmed Yusuf) as well as the League Management Committee (LMC) Chairman (Shehu Dikko) are all here and they are all my friends.

"Most of the State Football Association Chairmen are also here and that says a lot.

"I think all that is left now is for you all to search your conscience and do what is right for Nigerian football.”
