NFF Told To Hand Over Finidi George To Nigerian Police

FCT, Abuja – Akin Akinwale, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state, has lightheartedly said Finidi George’s purported resignation as Super Eagles coach “should not just be accepted but he should also be handed over to the Nigeria Police Force”.

The APC chieftain jokingly said Finidi who ‘committed a criminal offence’, has put Nigeria in a “delicate position” concerning the 2026 world cup (WC) qualification.

He wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) page:

“Finidi’s resignation should not just be accepted but he should also be handed over to the Nigeria Police Force.

“You cannot put us in this delicate position and walk away freely. You must do jail. It is a criminal offence if you ask me.”

In a tweet when Nigeria surprisingly lost to Benin Republic, Akinwale commented:

“Who recommended Finidi as Super Eagles coach? I really wanna know. This is hurtful

“Now we begin to do calculations to qualify for the world cup. We couldn’t win our home games, we are still losing to Benin on a neutral ground.

“Finidi George, thanks for your services, pls resign.”
