“On behalf of the good people of Abia State, I congratulate you and also want to assure you and the new NFF Board of our constant support. Nigerians are religious about football and everybody wants to see you succeed, so I wish you and the new Board the very best as you work towards returning Nigeria Football to where it belongs,” added Governor. Ikpeazu.
In his response, Anansi-Agwu said his emergence as Vice President is a great thing “not just for me, but for Abia State and the entire South East.”
