MY OPINION ON SALISU YUSUF 👇

I don't have an issue with opinions on the Anas case, it will be there on Salisu forever. A few days ago on a Sports WhatsApp platform, I said that; Salisu needs to come out & speak about the incident. Push out his narratives & balance the mess. The fact remains that, Nigeria's most successful CHAN team was achieved by Salisu in 2018.

Before Keshi, Nigeria failed to make it to the CHAN tournament twice.

Keshi came, qualified, and finished the tournament in SA with Bronze.

When I tweet about figures in the NPFL, you should all know that it's not about over packaging the League, it's 90% accurate information. Yesterday, I tweeted about #NPFLTransfer & some people said audio money, some colleagues doubted the info. I want to add more this morning. This morning I shared documents with @Undisputed_Jsam, details about a few transfers. Unfortunately, the environment is not at the level where we share this information to the public, mention names & more. But this is 2020 & we are making efforts to push out a few details.
