According to the ex-international, the visit by him and his colleagues to Tinubu’s residence was only for the APC’s leader 70th birthday and the novelty match.
The visit of Kanu and other former players to Tinubu on Saturday had drew attention on social media.
Some Nigerians as well as a presidential aspirant on the platform of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, had stated that the visit was necessitated by hunger on the part of the ex-players.
While trying to explain the reason behind the visit in a video posted on his social media handles said Tinubu had once been a pillar of for his foundation.
“People are talking, please pay attention. I’m not a politician, I’m a footballer and a proud one, I’m a legend. I know what is good and what is not good.
“22 years ago, Kanu heart Foundation was looking for people to help us. We got only three governors. Ahmed Tinubu was one of them.
“He gave the foundation money to start up. He supported us. And now, it’s his 70th birthday. Why not, we also have to come and support him.
“Please, don’t keep on talking and talking, make sure this time around you pick up the PVC and vote for the right person and let us get the right person there.”
from daily post....
Stomach infrastructure.
ReplyDeleteIPOB will disappoint you 😂
Kanu can feed all your generations. And no, nothing your Ipob PeeDeePee sponsored thugs can do to him 🙄
DeleteHungry lion.This one's family is tucked safely in the abroad, so e nor consign am if Nigeria crashes and burns under Tinubus watch.
DeleteAnywhere belle face.i loath all these celebs eh.
I didn't see where he said vote for Tinubu when someone helps your foundation with seed money where others who you expected to from your place turned their backs ,,insult that person you hear
DeleteHe has given his reasons for visiting him and that was for his birthday celebration for the help his foundation received. Just keep it moving.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteI don't see where he said everyone should vote Tinubu, or that he himself will vote Tinubu. Make una calm down abeg
Well, this makes sense sha. I also won’t abandon who has helped me before.
ReplyDeleteHe also stated that he was supporting him cos it’s his ‘70th’ birthday. Sha don’t support him for presidency
Very wise of you to deduce from the above message that he ain't already supporting Tinubu. Very wise of you 😁
DeleteYou did the right thing bro.. worry less and ignore the naysayers
ReplyDeleteShame!!!🥴😒🚶🏼♀️
ReplyDeleteWhat's the shame here? He gave a good explanation. You don't have to like it.
DeleteLike he said, pick up your PVC.
Campaign, influence, cajole, convince those around you to get your desired candidate in. Period.
What's shameful there?
DeleteHow's that shameful? His explanation did sound reasonable to you? You must be an ungrateful person, if you think that a man supporting his helper is shameful.
DeleteYou did the right thing bro.. worry less and ignore the naysayers
ReplyDeleteWell,I believe everyone has the right to support whom they what to and shouldn't be crucified for it.
ReplyDeleteLiar liar! I kuku don delete and unfollow all of dem
ReplyDeleteLike they noticed or care if you followed or unfollowed. Esp a Kanu. Apart from his wife's activities,his former club, or the heart foundation, do you ever see him hustling for IG followers?
DeleteIf nothing else, this man has saved more lives with his his foundation than our elected officials.
Okay, so he helped your foundation with Nigerian's money. That is very Good. My people, pls remember these footballer guys are not based here. Infact most of them are dual citizens and their children full citizens of foreign countries. Nothing concern them with the hardship going on here!
ReplyDeleteVarey, but the works GOD is using him to do are based here.
DeleteKanu is more in Nigeria than any other part of the world especially since he retired from football.
Read in between the lines. This sounds more like he did me a favour 22 years ago and now he has come to ask me to return the favour.
ReplyDeleteHis last quoted sentence up there is his feeble attempt to disassociate himself.
And if that's what it is, then fine. Some of us are big on loyalty Perx.
DeleteI think people are free to associate freely. And we forget, it wasn't a personal "favour", the donations went to saving those that society/government don't give a rat's ass about.
*Dissociate
Deleteperxian would you not thank a helper for fear of what people will say ?? especially when your "family members" whom you expected help from ignored you??? Loyalty is important to some people o he didn't say vote for Tinubu
DeleteIf all Nigerians who have benefited from Tinubu's genorosity will come out and speak, this social media won't contain us. But we ain't just gonna vote for him because of that. But because he is one of the best men for the job. We saw what he did with Lagos and building people and we want him to do that to Nigeria and Nigerians. If Peter Obi, mogalu, Tinubu, Saraki and Atiku are your own men, l am happy to tell you that all of them put together can't lace Tinubu's shoes 😀
ReplyDelete🚶🚶🚶
No be your fault oh
DeleteWell tinubu paid my waec fee (2002)and for that I may support him.
DeleteNaija youth, stop the insults , go get ur PVC.
70years old man still want to rule
ReplyDeleteAfter being elected,he will be going to London for medical check up weekly.Someone that should be enjoying retirement and his grandkids.🤔🤔🤔🤔.
As for Papilo,it's your choice to visit whoever you want.No complain when things go south sha.
Ok oooo
ReplyDeleteWhen you receive help from unexpected place you have no option than to reciprocate that kindness in any way you can. Well-done Kanu
ReplyDeleteKanu, Amara and her children are not in Nigeria, am sure you should have gone and pay homage since, not now the country is boiling. Baba Kanu and Co. abeg we don't need this now.
ReplyDeleteKanu Nwankwo is a citizen like us, and he has the choice to support whoever he wish to support. I don't see anything wrong with that. He has a reason for doing so.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is free to support whoever they believe in. Kalu and co didn't do any evil by visiting Tinubu. There was a novelty match in commemoration of Tinubu's 70th birthday.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kalu for reminding people to get their PVC ready for voting in 2023.
Why are people attacking the footballers? They know how to play ball doesn't mean that they are intelligent. We are talking about men whose careers ended long time ago and may be under financial stress. They will play novelty match for a monkey if the price is right.
ReplyDeleteDAMN!!!!! GUN SHOTS FIRED! ANON 10;53, Have a drink on me!
DeleteAnywhere where belle face! Papilo thanks for the explanation we have heard you.
ReplyDeleteSo what makes him a good president is that he supported your heart foundation?
ReplyDeleteWow!
Even when he said he will "fight dirty to get there?"
The reasoning of my "legends" are weird.
where did you see him say vote for Tinubu?? so as im Tinubu daughter friend even tho I dont support the dad when she has birthday I won't go or I won't greet her??
DeleteA friend in need is a friend indeed. I'll do the same if I benefited from Tinubu.
ReplyDeleteIs ur choice ooooooo
ReplyDeleteChildren raised in abject poverty like most of you here will always look for ways to shame and bring others down. I honestly pity all of you. When will you learn to respect the views and choices of others.
ReplyDeleteIt's not your fault kanu, when he eventually becomes the president make sure you bring ur family down to Nigeria since you know what is good! Ewu Gambia.
ReplyDeleteStella you are the one twisting his words. They were invited for his birthday party not presidential ambition campaign. It’s people like you that twisted it to campaign and he’s here correcting you and you are still manipulating your audience. Do better.
ReplyDeleteBiko we should really need to read, comprehend, and assimilate before posting comments here.
ReplyDeleteWhy the insult on Kanu?
Some people have become so bitter and spiteful.
Such a shame.
Stupid people everywhere, is this man normal. so being generous is now the qualities we need to save this country. why wont he be generous with all the money he stole. all the dramarians tearing membership cards have now kept quiet after letting the country burn. the blood, tears and empty stomachs of nigerians will continue tp judge all these old haggard and confused beings called politicians
