NFF Apologise To President Tinubu, Nigerians Over Congo Loss |

“The Nigeria Football Federation wishes to openly and sincerely apologise to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), to the Federal Government as a whole; and to millions of Nigerians, most especially our passionate, loyal football fans, following the Super Eagles failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals.

“Sunday’s loss to DR Congo in the Africa Play-off Final in Rabat remains a moment of profound sadness for Nigerian football. For a nation where the Super Eagles serve as a symbol of unity, hope, and collective pride, missing out on the World Cup for a second consecutive time is a disappointment of great weight and emotional depth.”

The statement added, “The NFF, the technical crew, and the players understand the gravity of this moment. We understand the expectations Nigerians rightly hold. We understand the passion and sacrifice of a country that has always stood firmly behind its team, through triumphs and trials. And we recognise that our collective effort did not deliver the outcome this nation deserved.

BREAKING: Lawmaker Obi Aguocha Writes President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Says Nnamdi Kanu’s Trial Is Hurting Nigeria |

A federal lawmaker, Hon. Obinna Aguocha, has written to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, urging him to invoke Section 174 of the 1999 Constitution to discontinue the prosecution of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

In the letter dated November 17, 2025, and addressed to the President at the A*o Rock Villa, made available to ABN TV, Aguocha argued that the prolonged detention and trial of Kanu have escalated regional tension, deepened mistrust, and undermined public confidence in government institutions.

According to him, continuing the legal process has become counterproductive and now threatens national peace and unity. He described the current situation in the South-East, marked by insecurity, economic decline, and persistent civil unrest, as a direct consequence of Kanu’s prolonged detention.

Aguocha noted that the Constitution empowers the Attorney-General of the Federation to discontinue criminal proceedings through the instrument of nolle prosequi when the pursuit of prosecution no longer serves the national interest.

He also highlighted alleged constitutional defects in Kanu’s trial, including questions surrounding his extraordinary rendition from Kenya and prosecution under repealed legal provisions, insisting that proceeding further would amount to validating unconstitutional actions.

The lawmaker further stated that releasing Kanu would foster national reconciliation, restore trust among citizens, particularly the Igbo, and strengthen Nigeria’s global democratic ranking.

“Leadership is most profoundly demonstrated when a President rises above immediate politics to embrace a vision of national healing. The release of Nnamdi Kanu at this moment will unlock transformative goodwill, ease regional tensions, and restore faith in the justice system,” the letter read in part.
