Oseloka Reacts After Peter Obi Explained Reason Why NFF Officials Didn’t Allow Him Welcome Flamingos

One of the chieftains of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Oseloka Obaze has reacted after the presidential candidate of NDC, Peter Obi explained the reason why NFF officials refused to allow him welcome members of Flamingo team that won the 2026 FIFA Under 17 Women’s World Cup.

The statement of Oseloka Obaze was contained in a post that he shared on his official X handle on Monday, November 9, 2026.

In the statement that Peter Obi shared on his official X handle, he said NFF officials told him they would lose their jobs if they allow him to greet the players.

“I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation NFF had refused and had requested that I should not approach them because they would all lose their jobs”.
