Hand over Finidi George to Nigerian Police - NFF told

Akin Akinwale, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state, has lightheartedly said Finidi George’s purported resignation as Super Eagles coach “should not just be accepted but he should also be handed over to the Nigeria Police Force”.

The APC chieftain jokingly said Finidi who ‘committed a criminal offence’, has put Nigeria in a “delicate position” concerning the 2026 world cup (WC) qualification.

He wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) page:

“Finidi’s resignation should not just be accepted but he should also be handed over to the Nigeria Police Force.

“You cannot put us in this delicate position and walk away freely. You must do jail. It is a criminal offence if you ask me.”

See some reactions to Akinwale's post below:

Balogun Ridwan said: "Oga olopa ...take am easy now. "We gather dey der na."

Emmanuel Ocheme: "I agree."

@ogbenialuko wrote: "He was not the one that put us in delicate position, we had 2 draws in 2games before he took over.

"We still have 6more games so he can turn things around.

"Our problem is the NFF I will never blame Finidi at all."

Akinwale commented: “Who recommended Finidi as Super Eagles coach? I really wanna know. This is hurtful

“Now we begin to do calculations to qualify for the world cup. We couldn’t win our home games, we are still losing to Benin on a neutral ground.

“Finidi George, thanks for your services, pls resign.”

On a second thought, Finidi’s resignation should not just be accepted but he should also be handed over to the Nigeria Police Force.

You cannot put us in this delicate position and walk away freely. You must do jail. It is a criminal offence if you ask me. https://t.co/AoF8UxhBxR
