*They demanded 50% bribe from Puma

By Olajide Fashikun

Nigerian versatile sports journalist working with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Osasu Obayiuwana, has revealed the disturbing but untold reasons behind the collapse of the big sponsorship deal between Nigeria and German sports brand, Puma in 2015.

When Amaju Pinnick, the President of the NFF was to start the deal, he made so much media blitz. Eventually, the deal between the Nigeria Football Federation and the German multinational company, Puma collapsed in April, 2015 during the negotiation. Pinnick had told the nation that why the deal fell through was because of the “leadership instability” of the football regulating body.

With the latest revelations by the no-nonsense international journalist and native of Edo State, Osasu Obayiuwana on his Twitter handle, @osasuo, it blew the lid of what was suspected, pointing at the weighty allegations that corrupt practices among top officials of the NFF could have collapsed the lucrative deal.

The sensitive information was revealed to Mr. Osasu Obayiuwana, a trained lawyer and football activist, by an unnamed Puma official he met in Gabon for the 2017 African Cup of Nation competition which Nigeria is missing back to back as a result of the incompetence of the Amaju Pinnick board.
