Obafemi Martins to organise football tournament in support of Tinubu’s 2027 campaign
Former Super Eagles striker Obafemi Martins is set to organise a youth football tournament as part of efforts to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for another term in the 2027 presidential election.
The former Nigerian international is backing the political campaign through the football initiative, which is expected to provide a platform for young footballers while also promoting support for the President’s re-election bid.
Martins has also expressed confidence in Seyi Tinubu, the President’s son, saying he has the potential to contribute significantly to the development and transformation of Nigerian football.
The planned tournament is expected to bring together young football talents and use the sport as a means of engaging youths ahead of the 2027 election.
Martins, who enjoyed a successful career in European and international football, has remained involved in activities connected to the development of the sport in Nigeria.
