Mr Emeruwa made his aspiration known by via a tweet on Wednesday evening.

“We are good to go! This project, OUR collective project to bring the best out of our country, through football! I want to serve, and believe I have what it takes to serve…as President of @thenff, nothing else will do!,” he tweeted via @chrisemeruwa22.
