Asisat Oshoala's missing vote Uproar: Ahmed Fresh's name wasn't listed by CAF - Aro Olaoluwa


The untrue story circulated by Sports Village Square website, where the media outfit, ignorantly accused Chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation Technical And Development Committee, Comrade Ahmed Yusuf 'Fresh' of being unpatriotic as he did not vote reigning Africa Women's player of the year, Asisat Oshoala.

Aro Olaoluwa has clarified the unprofessional report of the media outfit.

As the SA media to Mr Fresh, it's important the general public know the true nature of what transpired, leading to the voting process by CAF.

December 1st, 2019, I received a call from the Communication Department of NFF, regarding the deadline of voting process by CAF.

Interestingly, it was the day voting will close, which was Dec 1st 2019.  I was told to remind Mr fresh if he has gotten CAF's email for the voting exercising.

I contacted him, and we waited for CAF correspondence to vote, via his email but  we waited for the message from CAF regarding that till 12 midnight of the same day.

Obviously, CAF didn't include his name(s) on the list of qualified Voters.

10 days later, he got the usual mail from CAF as the Technical and Development Committee Member of CAF, to look at 2019 events, chronologically and even chart  road maps for its activities in 2020.

Mr Fresh, used the opportunity to enquire as to why CAF, did not mail him regarding the voting process and he was told, CAF did not captured his name in the voting process.

I will like to say this, Mr Fresh, has been a patriotic citizen of Nigeria. His love for Nigerian footballers, who were nominated by CAF remain unalloyed.

He's altruistic, and he can never sabotage Nigeria Football Federation, and its components for any reason.

Let's always try and verify story before dishing out punishment or blames to those involved, we won't punish innocent people unintelligently. More so, there won't be rooms for cacophony amongst Sports and Football stakeholders but environment of harmony shall be created intellectually.

Fresh congratulates Super-star and Super Falcons player, Asisat Oshoala for making Nigeria proud.

From: Olaoluwa Aro, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Chairman of Nigeria Football Federation, Technical And Development Committee Alhaji Freshahmed Ahmed
