President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has been absolved of blame for why the Super Eagles did not qualify for the FIFA World Cup starting in North America on Thursday.

Sports Administrator, Ahmed Shuaibu Gara-Gombe, insisted yesterday that Gusau should not be solely blamed for why the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Gara-Gombe stressed further that enemies of Nigeria within the football ecosystem were the principal architects of why the Super Eagles could not make the cut to the World Cup, just as it happened in 2022 for the edition hosted by Qatar.

Although he’s pained that Nigeria is missing the Mundial back-to-back,

Gara-Gombe pointed accusing fingers at those who are calling for the head of Gusau right now over the failure.
