Former Secretary General of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Chief Taiwo Ogunjobi, has congratulated Flying Eagles star, Olanrewaju Kayode, over a FIFA verdict that frees him to resume his career.
“I am happy for Kayode and congratulate him that he can now continue with his career after FIFA ordered NFF to issue a provisional clearance to him for Heartland.
“I say congratulations to Kayode once again, he should face his career and never allow people to use him against his fellow human beings, especially someone who helped him. I wish him well.”
He maintained that the FIFA decision has cleared him.
“I also thank God that I have been vindicated at the end of it all. That is what I have been saying all along that Ogunjobi cannot issue clearance for him or discuss his clearance but the clubs involved.
“I have a copy of the FIFA Single Judge five-page document which was sent to me by Asec Mimosas. I have the document and nowhere on the five-page document was Ogunjobi mentioned.
“FIFA stated there that Asec don’t want to hold on to Kayode as I said earlier, the provisional clearance was ordered to be issued and compensation for Asec will be worked out.
“NFF just want to rope me in which is political because of my ambition, but I have been vindicated. I will release the document to Nigerian journalists on Monday to see the fact and what was in the Single Judge verdict.”
