However, Kalu has to be endorsed first by the Nigeria Football Federation before he can contest for the position. The federation also has to consider section one of article 13 of the FIFA statutes of the section which specifies conditions a candidate running for the office of FIFA President must meet.
The article states: The candidate shall have played an active role in association football (as a board member, committee member, referee and assistant referee, coach, trainer and any other person responsible for technical, medical or administrative matters in FIFA, a Confederation, Association, League or Club or as a player) for two of the last five years before being proposed as a candidate (cf. art. 24 par. 1 of the FIFA Statutes).
So due to this qualifications, the Nigeria Football Federation, even if it wants to endorse Kalu, may not be able to do so because the football -loving former Governor may not meet the above requirements.
Amaju Pinnick, President of the Federation said on television Monday that the federation would meet to discuss Kalu’s interest in FIFA presidency.
However, a member of the federation said last night that their hands were tied by the statutory requirements to endorse Kalu.
Another member of the federation also advised that the former Governor ‘’should be wary of people who would want to defraud him’’.

So John Fashanu didn't consider all these requirements before endorsing Kalu.
And Kalu thinks FIFA is like the Abia state he looted dry, confusing the people with the success of Enyimba FC.

Nonsense!!! This man should go and sit down. A man who could not manange Abia state wants to manage FIFA, a world organisation.
He shouldn't just b wary of those who wil defraud him but also wolf in sheep clothing dat wil mislead him.
Pls he should drop dis ambition bcos I don't see d world powers in football backing him.

Error if he becomes their president
Laughable.....what does he know about d post he wants to contest for? Oga Kanu, you'd better stick with being a politician down here.....
HIS GREATEST CHALLENGE IS NIGERIA NOT THE REST OF THE WORLD. NIGERIANS ARE NOT NATIONALISTIC BUT THEIR ALLEGIANCE IS TO OUR TRIBES WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF SO MUCH RIVALRIES.
So tell me now on what basis is he contesting for FIFA president?as a football loving person or as a formal governor??? Any way which ever way I do wish him good luck.

Are people campaigning for Orji Kalu out of their minds?. Seff Blatter is being kicked out because of corruption and you are campaigning for Kalu to replace him. Much more like bringing lucky Igbinedion to replace James Ibori

Endorse him for what ??? After all d loots when he d governor of abia state and he is now trying to go and tanish our country internationally with his looting spirit
It is easier for Donald Trump to win American presidency than for Kalu to win Fifa presidency
Even if he spends all the money he has, he will never win!
He's heard of the huge amounts in FIFA.Nothing for you Orji Kalu.you ain't gonna get your greedy claws near them.
Orji Uzor Kalu should go and look for other things to do. Somebody who could not govern a state like abia is dreaming of heading FIFA , an international football governing body. He is as well corrupt. Please discharge him.
Yoruba people go die oooo as Kalu want contest FIFA president....Bad Belle people...maybe na Obasanjo go contest for FIFA president
