Jay Jay Okocha, former Super Eagles captain, has described his tenure as the chairman of the Delta State Football Association (DSFA) as a woeful failure.
Okocha, who retired from professional football in 2008, was
elected to head the DSFA in 2015.
Many Nigerian football fans, who wanted ex-internationals to
be more involved in sports administration, welcomed his election to the office.
Speaking about his tenure in a chat with Sports Zone on
Lagos Talks FM on Monday, Okocha admitted he “did not achieve anything” in the
office.
He revealed that he had to resign without completing his
term because “place was not conducive for me to work”.
“I failed woefully as Delta FA chairman. Didn’t complete my
tenure, I walked away,” the former Super Eagles captain said.
“What I saw there was not what I expected. The place was not
conducive for me to work. The people I worked with had different opinions, and
the best thing for me to do was to walk away, which I did. I will be the first
to raise my hand and say I did not achieve anything as Delta football chairman.
“A lot of things must be in place because I do not think the
structure would allow people like us to succeed. That is the honest truth. The
level of corruption in all sectors of Nigeria is too much. And if you are
always around people who always have motives, it will not work.”
Okocha was succeeded by Kenneth Nwaomucha as the substantive
chairman of DSFA in 2020.
