"My Mission Is For All Northern States To Own Female Football Clubs"

"Definitely, when you get into any election, you don’t think of failure. You always think that you are going in there to win. If you hold such belief, it means you have done your home work very well. In my case, I spoke to all the delegates that I felt were very important. All delegates are important but not all delegates can be for you. I explained to them why it was necessary for them to vote for me to become a member of the new NFF board. So, I think by my home, the result came out positive."

"I won’t say hundred percent but fifty percent. I wish that every state in the north should have a female football club. But unfortunately, I can’t say we have many female football clubs in the region. It is therefore my thinking that my presence on the board will help in addressing this deficiency."

"to have survived five impeachment attempts before she was allegedly forced to resign her position as speaker in protest against neck-deep corrupt practices by lawmakers."

"As a woman and a mother, I will do my best to see that even if not all northern states, at least half of them have formidable female clubs. As a matter of fact, in the future people will prefer to watch female football to men football. Even now, when you see them playing, you don’t see any difference. So, I am bold to say that very soon, women’s football will bounce more than men’s football."
