The race to succeed Sepp Blatter as president of Fifa is picking up steam, with Nigeria legend Segun Odegbami announcing his decision to throw his hat into the ring.

Odegbami, also known as ‘Mathematical Odegbami’ – a label he was given because of his masterful exhibition of engineered dribbles, technical control of the ball and goal-scoring skills during his footballing era, believes that FIFA need to purge itself, launder its image, restore its reputation and reinstate integrity into its activities and operations and that this would require a new form of leadership with a renewed vision.

“The current scandal at FIFA is the organisation’s worst crisis in its 111 years of existence. Moving forward, FIFA thus require a new era of leadership that can restore the dignity of the noble sport and that of this esteemed international institution with global followership,” he said in a press release.

"Times like this call for all concerned members of the global football family to contribute to the actualization of renewed objectives for FIFA by electing a deserving and qualified person, with the right character that can achieve the desired goals and restore confidence and integrity to the organization and its activities. The world is very interested in who becomes the next President of FIFA, considering the present image and state of this institution and I see myself fitting into this role”

Regarded as one of the greatest Nigerian footballers of all time, he is recognised by many to have the clout both on and off the field to command the top job in football.

He joins the already crowded race with the likes of former Abia State governor Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, UEFA prseident Mitchel Platini, Brazil legend Zico, Liberian FA chief Musa Bility and Diego Maradona all declaring their interest in the FIFA top job.
